Mom’s Pantry
Phoenix, AZ 85022
602.686.4014
Details: Mom’s Pantry was built on the bedrock of a single promise – that no man, woman or child – go hungry. That’s the significance of the name, too – Mom’s Pantry is always stocked, and always ready for their next visitor. But ending hunger in Arizona isn’t that easy. Mom’s Pantry was founded because there is a significant community need to help families with their struggle against hunger. In Arizona, one in five families do not have the ability to provide enough food to feed the entire household. Our founders and donors have always been blessed with food on the table and believe that every individual and families, including children, should never have to go hungry. Through the collaboration and generosity of a local family and interested parties, the vision and mission to combat hunger brought Mom’s Pantry to life. A 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Mom’s Pantry aims to serve the community and distribute resources that will provide much-needed nutrition to needy adults and children. A significant food insecurity exists in our city and local communities, and we want to give families and individuals a hand-up in their struggle against hunger. Hours of operation: Saturdays 10 a.m.-2 p.m. and Sundays 10 a.m.-1 p.m.

André House - Soupline
Phoenix, AZ 85007
602.252.9023
Details: In 1984 at the beginning of André House, a small group of people gathered to share coffee, bread, and a bowl of soup. At first the soup was prepared outside on a makeshift table behind a house on Polk House. Each evening volunteers would bring a huge pot of soup to the train tracks in downtown Phoenix and feed as many as possible. A few things have changed in the 25 plus years, yet we remember that tradition as we prepare the Soupline meal at our Hospitality center each evening. At André House we work hard at creating a welcoming and personal atmosphere in the same way we would for a family dinner. The people we serve are truly our guests, our neighbors, and our friends. We have a large main dining room that accommodates ~150 guests and a smaller dining room for families and people with special needs. We start each meal from scratch. Fresh vegetables picked up from the food bank, fresh bread donated from a bakery, and 40 pounds of frozen ground beef serves as the base for most meals. We have experienced volunteers that come in each day to season the sauce and cook the beans. Each day we serve a fresh lettuce salad and many days we have a fresh fruit salad as well. Anywhere from 20-40 volunteers come each day to chop 50 pounds of onions, slice 1200 slices of bread, wash lots of dishes, and stir two 30 gallon pots. Soupline is the service André House is best known for. We serve six days a week (Saturday through Thursday 5:30 – 6:30 pm) to all who are hungry. Approximately 550 to 650 meals are served every night.
