Food & Nutrition

Arizona Community Action Association disseminates critical information regarding the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP – the new Federal Name for the Food Stamp Program) and other food assistance and nutrition programs. Our staff can provide brochures, flyers, and other materials at no cost, and is also available to conduct presentations on SNAP eligibility and how to help those who may be eligible to access the benefits. Additionally, ACAA conducts and participates in coalition building efforts with hunger-related entities to address food policy, security and recovery in Arizona, including: Arizona Hunger Advisory Council sponsored by the Arizona Department of Economic Security; The Statewide Gleaning Project, a project of the Association of Arizona Food Banks; and the Western Regional Anti-Hunger Consortium.

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Department must make a reasonable accommodation to allow a person with a disability to take part in a program, service, or activity. For example, this means that if necessary, the Department must provide sign language interpreters for people who are deaf, a wheelchair accessible location, or enlarged print materials. It also means that the Department will take any other reasonable action that allows you to take part in and understand a program or activity, including making reasonable changes to an activity. If you believe that you will not be able to understand or take part in a program or activity because of your disability, please let us know of your disability needs in advance if at all possible.
