Our community bears particular culpability in the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people, owing largely to the presence of Raytheon, Howmet, and the USAF here in Tucson.

The IDF has repeatedly kidnapped, tortured, and killed aid workers who have been trying to bring relief to the people of Gaza. Israel has violated international law in doing so, yet the governments of these aid workers' countries of citizenship are doing nothing.

Please take a moment to add your voice to the chorus of Tucsonans speaking out against these atrocities.

Approximately 50,000 have been saved from the landfill while helping out 8 people. While this seems like a low number of mats for the amount of bags used remember each mat uses 500-700 plastic bags and each mat takes 120+ hours to make so a BIG thank you to all who helped make this possible.

It’s heating up outside and our pantry is running low! Help stock us up for the week!

Join Pima County Attorney Laura Conover and others to demand that the South Tucson Police Department open an investigation into this assault.

153 people served.

These events are every 2 weeks and we do what we can to meet people where they are and bring as much as we can. We are so grateful to be able to share water, food, clothes, medical care, haircuts, and more with those that need it.

Community care saves lives.

There are many many different ways to support those around you. Talk to your community, see where there are gaps in care, and build from there. The scarcity they tell us exists isn't real and you don't have to live as if it does. Mutual aid can be a part of anyone and everyone's life.

We are always looking to collaborate with other groups, always collecting donations, trying to support those in need, and help to bridge the gaps in equity this city doesn't seem to think are a priority.

We collect donations constantly between events and we are always looking for men's clothes and more!

Join us, dønate if you are able, spread the word, and let us know you're interested.

We will be out again this Saturday the 16th!

Nutrition Assistance and DES have faced large cuts and new requirements from the Trump administration, due to the horrible 'Big Beautiful Bill', but let's be honest, Conservatives have always wanted poor family and children to starve, and have limited or no access to medical care (but 60 billion for ICE and 100 billion for a ballroom of taxpayer money seem reasonable to them...). So DES is processing all these new changes very slowly, but that's by design. They are likely way way understaffed for the large amount of applications and appeals, after thousands have suddenly been kicked off EBT/Food Stamps. Even if you provide documentation that you are still eligible under the new requirements, there's not nearly enough people to go through all the documents, and so even people who should be eligible are losing access to nutrition assistance. And if you've ever tried to call DES, even before all these changes, it was extremely difficult to get through to someone. Again, it's basically designed to be broken. So I understand the protest, but I hope it is directed at the correct people, and not employees of DES, who are probably miserable at their jobs every day. They can only work with what resources they have, and they do not seem to have nearly enough help. But I hope the protest makes some noise, at least.
