Ways to Support our Community
We have received a number of inquiries from community members asking how they can help Kyrene families affected by changes to SNAP benefits and other assistance programs. There are several ways individuals can support Kyrene families (and the broader community) at this time.
Do you need assistance? We have compiled information from local food banks in the East Valley.
