Project F.E.E.D.  Feed Everyone Every Day

This Project was developed to feed on Thursdays and Sundays at 4:00pm until 6:30pm to feed our homeless and needy population every day. With your help we can accomplish this problem called hunger.

The feeding program is located on 4443 East 22nd Street 22nd between Columbus and Swan west of the Family Dollar Store. (site map)

Go to the back of the lot to our volunteer table and someone will let you know where you are best able to serve.  If you feel lost in a sea of people, look for someone with a Giving Tree t-shirt or security shirt on.

You can make it an extra special event by bringing food to share.  Your favorite pot-luck recipe or something you pick up at the grocery would be GREAT!  There is no running water or electricity on the lot, so consider bringing your dish in an aluminum pan.

Summer Feeding Program

The Giving Tree's Summer Feeding Program starts May 23.  This is the program that provides 2 meals daily to children that receive free or reduced fee meals during the school year. This program runs until school starts again on August 8.  Summer Feeding Program 2007 served 145,924 meals!! 

You can help feed Tucson's hungry children!!  How?  You can provide:

  • Grocery store gift cards
  • Discount store gift cards
  • Applesauce cups (individual serving size)
  • Mixed fruit cups (individual serving size)
  • Yogurt cups (individual serving size)
