Open Arms Care Center has been Gilbert’s food pantry and clothing closet for just under 25 years. Our current leadership team is ready to retire and the building we occupy is now up for sale. With this, we anticipate there will be some changes to come in the near future.

City Hope, a ministry of Christ Church, will be the new owner/ operators of Open Arms going forward and will continue to distribute food and clothing from this location as long as the building is available. Between now and the end of the year there will be changes including: the check-in process and most likely the food/clothing distribution dates and times. We will do our best to keep you informed of any additional changes that might affect you in the near future.

In addition, Open Arms will NOT be distributing Thanksgiving/ Christmas bags this year at their McQueen location.
