Help Prevent Hunger in Gilbert

At Open Arms, we focus on serving the people of Gilbert. Particularly, your neighbors who have fallen on hard times—divorce, unemployment, sickness—and are one hardship away from becoming homeless. They're the working families that are living meal-to-meal, unsure whether they'll have enough food to make it through the month.

We help Gilbert families in need by giving them food and clothing on a monthly basis. By giving to Open Arms, you're investing in your community and improving the livelihood of your neighbors.
We are both a State of Arizona (authorized AZ Tax Credit Organization #20738) and Federally recognized Non Profit 501c(3) #86-1040036.

"Always friendly, always caring, always giving"

"It’s a godsend here. You people take great care of everybody. It’s been great. You’re always friendly, always caring, always giving and I try to turn it around and do that to the people who come in here who need extra help. You know... You give to me, I’ll give back to you. Just keep it going because it’s a great program.”

– Mike from Gilbert, AZ

Why Open Arms?

At Open Arms, we're open about where your donations and volunteer efforts go. As one of the only food pantries in Gilbert, we're 100% volunteer-based. That means your efforts go straight to helping Gilbert residents in need—not paying our salary.
