The Shalom Pantry is an initiative created in partnership with St. Mary’s Food Bank. This pantry exists to serve individuals and families of all backgrounds facing food insecurity with dignity, compassion, and consistency.

While rooted in a Jewish organization, this pantry is open to all people, not just Jews. For those who observe Jewish dietary laws, kosher items will be available.

The name Shalom means more than just “peace” in Hebrew. It also speaks to wholeness, well-being, and restoration. These are values that shape how we approach this work. Arizona Jews for Justice is committed to healing the divisions in our society and ensuring that no one is left behind in times of need.

The Shalom Pantry is both stationary and mobile, supported in part by two Let’s Be Better Humans humanitarian buses, which bring critical supplies directly to those living on the streets and in crisis.
