Creighton Community Foundation, Frescazona Food

The Creighton Community Foundation has teamed up with Frescazona to offer a valuable resource for families and individuals in the Phoenix area who need access to fresh, nutritious food. Every Saturday, the Foundation organizes mobile food distributions at Exoelansia School (2181 E. McDowell Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85006), where community members can pick up farm-fresh food boxes. Frescazona's food boxes consist of fresh CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) produce sourced directly from local farms. These boxes provide a convenient and healthy option for people looking to incorporate more fresh fruits and vegetables into their diets. An exciting benefit is that customers using SNAP/EBT benefits can purchase these food boxes at half price—just $19—making fresh, farm-to-table produce affordable for low-income families. In addition to food box distribution, the Creighton Community Foundation offers SNAP application assistance. Residents can schedule appointments by calling or texting (602) 888-3770 and asking for Adriana, Carmen, or Kathryn. This service helps eligible individuals apply for government nutrition assistance programs, easing access to critical resources. The food boxes can also be purchased online at FrescaZona.com, simplifying the ordering process for those who prefer digital access. There is also an encouragement to bring reusable bags to reduce waste during pickup events. This partnership underscores the importance of community support and local initiatives in addressing food insecurity. By combining mobile food distributions with fresh farm produce and SNAP/EBT discount programs, Creighton Community Foundation and Frescazona contribute to healthier lifestyles and improved food access in the Phoenix community.

Whether you need food assistance or want to support your neighbors, these local efforts provide an effective way to connect and support food security locally.
