As part of Emaho’s humanitarian mission, we support various agencies to provide food for those in need, and supplies to various animal shelters in the valley.
To help support their causes, we ask everyone coming to events at the Emaho Center bring an item to donate so that we may continue supporting those in need.
We are currently working with Mom’s Pantry A Community Food Bank. Mom’s Pantry was founded because there is a significant community need to help families with their struggle against hunger. In Arizona, one in five families do not have the ability to provide enough food to feed the entire household. A 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Mom’s Pantry aims to serve the community and distribute resources that will provide much-needed nutrition to needy adults and children. A significant food insecurity exists in our city and local communities, and we want to give families and individuals a hand-up in their struggle against hunger. Mom’s Pantry is located at 13440 N. Cave Creek Rd.Phoenix, AZ, 85022
