United Food Bank Joins Florence Organizations to Create Community Food Bank
About United Food Bank
The United Food Bank, a collaboration between the Prescott Community Cupboard Food Bank and several esteemed Florence organizations, aims to tackle the pressing issue of food insecurity in our local community. Through our joint efforts, we strive to create a stronger support system for individuals and families who face difficulties in accessing nutritious meals.
Mission and Vision
At United Food Bank, our mission is to alleviate hunger and improve food security for individuals and families in need. We believe that no one should have to go to bed hungry, and our vision is to build a community where everyone has access to adequate, nutritious food.
Services Provided
As a community food bank, United Food Bank provides a range of essential services to address food insecurity:
1. Emergency Food Assistance
Through our network of local partners, we offer emergency food assistance to those facing immediate hunger. Our team works tirelessly to ensure that individuals and families have access to nourishing meals during challenging times.
2. Supplemental Nutrition Programs
United Food Bank actively supports and promotes access to government-sponsored nutrition programs, such as SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program). We strive to increase awareness about these programs and assist eligible individuals in navigating the application process.
3. Food Distribution
We collaborate with partner organizations to efficiently distribute donated food and essential supplies to those in need. By fostering strong relationships with local businesses and the community, we ensure a steady supply of nutritious provisions for the individuals and families we serve.
Combating Food Insecurity

2. Nutritional Education
United Food Bank places a strong emphasis on nutritional education. We offer workshops and resources to help individuals and families learn about healthy eating, budget-friendly meal planning, and making the most of available resources. By empowering our community with knowledge, we strive to foster long-term food security.
