You may still be mourning the loss of your favorite healthy fast food chain, but you can rest a little easier knowing they were able to donate several truckloads of refrigerated inventory to Arizona food banks.

"Giving back was always an important part of what made Salad and Go so special," said a S&G representative who coordinated the donations.

Every bit of fresh produce makes a big difference for a . We appreciate all you've done for Arizona food banks and we'll miss you, Salad and Go!

Ok be honest 🤔which hands-free collab drawing is the best?? 🍉🥕🍅🍊

Yesterday, members of the Southwest Produce Cooperative gathered at AzFBN HQ to reflect, connect, and plan. And this is a crucial point to stop and talk about this work, because the SPC was created 10 years ago now! 🎉

The Hunger Heroes in this room collaborate constantly across state lines, service territories, produce donors, and sourcing agreements to share thousands of truckloads of produce equitably.

🦸They all share a bottom line: to make sure food banks can serve their communities with fresh fruits and vegetables. Plus, a lot of the food they move would otherwise go to waste!

The SPC is organized by AzFBN and includes 18 members from 7 states:
🤝Arizona
🤝Texas
🤝New Mexico
🤝Kansas
🤝California
🤝Nevada
🤝Oklahoma

Feeding America released the annual Map the Meal Gap report this month, detailing that hunger is still on the rise nationally. In Arizona, hunger has increased by a rate of .05%.

Map the Meal Gap has been released each year since 2011 using the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Household Food Security Report. As of 2025, that report was defunded on the basis that the data was "subjective."

Which means the most recent information we have on food insecurity in the U.S. is data collected in 2024.

Needless to say, data from 2024 is...outdated, at best.

At worst, it's dangerously irrelevant.

And while it's important to know that hunger was already on the rise, it's just as important to remember: Things have changed, and not necessarily for the better.

Do what you can today to end hunger in 2026: Head to linktr.ee/azfoodbanks to donate, subscribe to email alerts, or read the Map the Meal Gap report.
