OPERATION: hunger strike

Community Outreach & Volunteer Program

At The MASA Project of Arizona, our mission is simple: feed the hungry, spread hope, and strengthen our community—one person at a time.

Our volunteer team prepares and serves fresh meals while building meaningful relationships with individuals and families experiencing homelessness, food insecurity, addiction, or financial hardship. Every meal is served with dignity, compassion, and without judgment.

In addition to providing meals, our volunteers organize neighborhood clean-up efforts, distribute hygiene supplies, provide bottled water during extreme heat, and connect people with community resources. Together, we're creating cleaner neighborhoods, healthier communities, and a culture of kindness.

Our outreach team serves dinner at approximately 7:00 PM on 19th Avenue throughout the week.

Fresh Meals. Real Connections.

Every outreach includes freshly prepared meals made with quality ingredients including proteins, vegetables, rice, pasta, salads, sandwiches, tacos, BBQ, pizza, and other donated items.

We strive to accommodate dietary restrictions whenever possible. If you or your family have special dietary needs, please contact us before attending so we can do our best to prepare an appropriate meal.

Food Safety

Food safety is one of our highest priorities.

• Fresh donations are distributed as quickly as possible, typically within 24–48 hours.

• We do not distribute expired food.

• Any food that appears damaged, opened, tampered with, or unsafe is immediately discarded.

• We are committed to providing safe, high-quality meals to every individual we serve.
