The Sun Lakes Mobile Food Program is  offering twice-monthly food box pickups, providing essential groceries and supplies to residents in need within the Sun Lakes community and surrounding areas.

Focusing on the motto “Where Neighbors Help Neighbors,” this initiative supports members of retirement communities who are facing financial, physical, or mental health challenges. Residents that are unable to leave their home can apply to receive home delivery services.

While the program is approved by a local food bank, it doesn’t have the staff to support it at this time and donations are solely from private donations.

The program sources food and supplies from generous donations within our local communities, ensuring that it can offer fresh and needed items to those in need.

Residents fleeing the summer heat have donated much-needed toiletries, cleaning supplies and food prior to their departure. Organizers are deeply grateful to donors and volunteers for their continued support and dedication to our mission.

To make donations as convenient as possible, organizers have established three drop-off locations in Sun Lakes:

• Sun Lakes Community Church Center – outside location (24 hours); 25811 S Country Club Drive.

• Sun Lakes Phase 1 HOA Office, 25601 S. Sun Lakes Blvd.

Mulligans, 25425 S. Sun Lakes Blvd.
Monetary donations can be made through this secure website or by directly contacting the executive director.

The mission of the Sun Lakes Mobile Food Program is to provide essential groceries and supplies directly to the Sun Lakes communities and various retirement communities. It strives to ensure that every individual facing financial, physical, or mental health challenges has access to the nourishment and support they need to lead healthy and dignified lives.
