With the federal shutdown dragging on and the rising cost of groceries, the need for food banks and pantries is more important than ever.

KGUN 9 is compiling an ongoing list of food resources for those in need in Southern Arizona.

Hours and locations are subject to change. Make sure to check ahead with the organizations before visiting. Only food distribution hours are listed. Links to each location will provide information on how you can donate and volunteer.
