Thank you for choosing Mom’s Pantry to honor the memory Barbary Fraley. Bob and Barb are the founders of Mom’s Pantry but truly Barb is the Mom of Mom’s Pantry. This place exists because of her heart for hurting and hungry people. After the sale of their business when they retired many years ago, a large, unexpected amount of the deal was settled in their favor. Bob asked her what she wanted to do with it, and she said, “I want to build a food bank because people are in need of food year-round, not just the holidays.”

In 2013, Mom’s Pantry opened and has been feeding people ever since! In the first year we opened, we served 13,000 people. This year we served that many people by March and project to feed 83,000 people by year end! Their legacy will live on as we continue to serve and love on the community each weekend.

Juanita – comes from Goodyear

Some people are afraid to ask for help. I have children, I drive for Uber/Lyft, and my husband works too. We get $50 food stamps a month which doesn’t go far. I am so happy to be able to come here. I get bread and food I can use and whatever they give me helps because at the end of the month there is not enough food to go around.

Michael (lives on East Dunlop)

Somebody told me about Mom’s Pantry and I’m so grateful. I used to own a printing company and I worked hard all my life, but now, I’m retired and have health problems. By the time I pay for my medicine and doctors, I don’t have enough money to eat. Thank God they’re here.

Nelson (homeless)

I used to work in construction, but I’m an alcoholic. Some days are up and others down.

Coming here at least I know I can eat one day at a time.

John

It is so tough to make ends meet. Electric and rent have gone up. Food is pricey.

My little brother lives with me now and I have to take care of us, cause no matter how hard

I try to get ahead, I can’t. They give us fresh fruits and vegetables which make me feel like

I’m living a real life. I’m happy they are here.

Loretta

I’m single, alone, and have no family here. For 45 years, I was a nurse. In 2010, I was diagnosed

with Stage IV breast and it came back in 2017. My social security is for low that I can’t eat and

get medicine. My sole source of food is Mom’s Pantry, and what I can’t eat, I share. Because of Mom’s Pantry, we take care of each other.

Melva

I was driving by and saw the sign. Right now, I live with my grandson. My social security

can’t buy much, so I can’t help out. You didn’t judge me. I feel respected. The food is

good and I feel like I’m helping out. Thank you.

Mary Lou

I live in the neighborhood but never thought I would need a food pantry. I’m widowed, and one of my adult children is living with me since times are hard. I use what I’m given and then share what I can with my community, too. We all stretch our money to stay alive.

Tammy

Before COVID, I was okay. I worked, took care of myself, and lived a decent life. Then, in 2021, I lost my job because COVID affected my lungs. All I could think about was surviving. Someone told me about Mom’s Pantry, and I bless them daily. This pantry is a Godsend. The people are so friendly, the food is always good, and I don’t have to worry for a week. There is enough for me and I can share some too.

Esperanza

I love it here. People are so friendly and don’t make me feel less than. I am a single mom with two kids. I don’t qualify for food stamps, and I have nowhere to go for food. I just want to feed my family. Thank you for being so helpful.

Marium, Alesia, Judy

Alesia’s rent got too high and she didn’t have the money to pay, so she got evicted. She could not afford new rent and a pet deposit, so she found a hotel that would take pets and had weekly rates. Otherwise, she was afraid she would be living out of her car.

At the hotel, she met Marium and Judy, two strangers who became friends in order to have a roof over their heads. Judy is 75, and Marium is on disability. Social Security and Medicaid did not cover expenses, rent, and food.

They were all afraid and hungry, and that is when they found Mom’s Pantry. Alesia said, “We are so grateful. Mom’s is open on the weekends; they are clean and friendly and give us food we can eat. Without them, we would literally starve.”
