Book Signing: Finding Purpose Through Service
We are excited to let you know about our Founder, Joni Navarro Sucato’s new book: Finding Purpose Through Service!

This story began with one cupcake – but it led to feeding thousands.When a young boy quietly tucked a cupcake into his classroom reading day, Joni Navarro Sucato couldn’t ignore the moment. That act opened her eyes to the heartbreaking reality of food insecurity faced by children year-round.In Finding Purpose Through Service, Joni shares how one small kindness turned into a mission nourishing over 1,200 families annually – and how the impact continues to grow.This is not just her story, it’s a call to service. A reminder that we each hold power to make a difference.
Come to the signing event!

Join Our New Initiative
Our Non-Profit Feeding Students in Arizona has provided food boxes to over 20,000 school families. Through research, we discovered that many items in our food boxes were going to waste because our families were not accustomed to them. To address this, we have implemented a grocery store concept in our pantry where families can choose their own items, which has been so successful.
We are looking for partners to help us expand this concept, including local food banks, suppliers, chefs and restaurants, business, state and local representatives.
Thank You for considering joining us in this initiative.
