We coordinate a monthly food drive and YOU can help! For several years we have been donating hundreds of pounds of food a month to our food bank partners. They are grateful for our donations and especially during the summertime it is particularly hard on families with children. They have no access to breakfast or lunch provided by their schools, so the need is much greater.

We will continue to coordinate a monthly food drive and YOU can help.

  • When? The third Saturday of the month.
  • How?  Drive-thru donations at Saint Barnabas from 8 am – 10 am, in the main parking lot off Mockingbird Lane. Put your donations in your trunk at home. When it’s your turn, stay in the driver’s seat, unlock or open your trunk, and we will take your donation from your trunk for you. See the video below for our helpful guide to keeping everyone safe.
  • Who? EVERYONE is invited to donate! We are hoping to see a long line of cars in our parking lot as a symbol of God’s love. The food you donate will go to the following food banks that all have Episcopal roots:

• Saint Luke’s at the Mountain, South Phoenix
• Matthew’s Crossing, Chandler
• St. Mark’s Food Pantry, Mesa
