Be a Hunger Hero at St Mary's Food Bank

Join your co-workers in becoming Hunger Heroes at  St Mary's Food Bank (or your local food bank), Wednesday, March 18th (2 sessions available). 

Did you know we have the world's first food bank right here in our own backyard? Founded in 1967, St Mary's became the flagship for food banks around the country and the world. St. Mary’s Food Bank serves to alleviate hunger through the gathering and distribution of food while encouraging self-sufficiency, collaboration, advocacy and education. St. Mary’s Food Bank is truly a community-based organization. Individual donors, corporate donors, and private grants help feed hungry individuals and families in our area. Serving two-thirds of Arizona’s 15 counties, they are committed to volunteerism, building community relationships and improving the quality of life for Arizonans in need.

Changes to the Food Drive

Fun Fact: St Mary's is the world's FIRST food bank! Helping our neighbors through St Mary's Food Bank (or your local food bank) is not a hand out, it is a hand up. It means helping out a single mom or dad put food on the table for their kids during tough times. It means helping after a loss, whether it is a loss of a spouse or a job. It means helping out a senior on a fixed income or someone caring for their elderly parent while trying to make ends meet. It means helping when someone is battling a medical illness like cancer and the bills associated. It means helping out after losing everything in a house fire. It means putting nutritious food on the table and giving hope.

As of now, our food drive boxes at HQ are empty.

Let's try something different. For the next week, Wednesday to Wednesday, CUBEX will match dollar for dollar donated to St Mary's using this link*. I will also accept Cash or Venmo (l-g-brown) donations if that makes it easier to double your donation. On top of that, St Mary's will match our total donation.

"People and Pets" Food Drive - Cubex Helps Feed Families and Four-Leggers Across Arizona

 QGive Campaign Runs December 1st to December 31st, 2019

CUBEX is once again partnering with St Mary's Food Bank to help replenish the shelves for 2020 and help to alleviate hunger in Arizona. This year, we are again adding a Pet Food Drive to support Arizona Animal Welfare League and ASPCA (AAWL) to make this an all-in-one "People and Pets" Food Drive. 

Through previous years food drives, Cubex has donated exactly 1000 lbs of food to St Mary's (that's approx 833 meals to Arizona families in need). Fun fact: In 2015, Cubex was able to donate a whopping 660 lbs! Not so fun fact: In 2019, we only collected 106 lbs. We have grown so much, I am confident we have another chance to top 2015! Let's see what we can do for our people and pets in our state. 

There will be 2 opportunities to donate:

Hunger has many faces.  St. Mary’s Food Bank serves to alleviate hunger through the gathering and distribution of food while encouraging self-sufficiency, collaboration, advocacy and education. St. Mary’s Food Bank is truly a community-based organization.
