Flagstaff Family Food Center
Winslow Neighborhood Distribution Join us every second Thursday of the month from 1:15 to 3:30 pm at the WIHCC Main Campus (500 N. Indiana Ave, Winslow, AZ 86047) as we distribute fresh food and essential groceries to families and individuals in the Winslow community. Volunteers at this event help set up and organize distribution tables, welcome guests, hand out produce and pantry items, and create a positive, dignified experience for everyone who attends. This hands-on, community-centered event is perfect for anyone who wants to make a real impact and connect with neighbors in need. Whether you’re organizing supplies, handing out food, or offering a friendly greeting, your efforts ensure that nutritious meals reach the tables of those who need them most. Come be part of a caring team and help fight hunger in Winslow—one Thursday, and one family, at a time!
