Building Arizona’s Network of Care

As SNAP benefits are reduced and federal funding disruptions ripple through our communities, many of our neighbors are feeling the strain. In this moment, people of faith and conscience are called to act — to share what we have so that everyone has what they need.

Arizona Faith Network is creating a Faith & Mutual Aid Resource Guide to highlight congregations, community organizations, and mutual aid groups offering support across the state — from food and cooling resources to pastoral care and safe gathering spaces.

This guide will be featured on the AFN website to help connect families and individuals with nearby resources and strengthen the web of resilience in our communities. Congregations and organizations that offer any form of care or support can add their information here:

Together, we can ensure that no one is left behind — and that our shared compassion continues to light the way for Arizona.
