The ongoing federal government shutdown is creating growing uncertainty for Arizona’s families and students. Last Thursday, the Department of Economic Security (DES) notified families that SNAP benefits, which support over 347,000 Arizona children, will be halted starting Saturday.


To support school in responding to family inquiries, the Arizona School Boards Association (ASBA) is providing the following resources:

Arizona Food Bank Network Map: Get Food - Arizona Food Bank Network

Arizona Food Pantry Map: Find Food Now - AZ Food Help

Includes Churches, School Districts, Community Colleges, Community Centers and more.

Food Bucks Now: Find Locations - Double Up Arizona

SNAP recipients can receive $30 food vouchers by presenting their EBT cards at participating farmers markets and other locations. This temporary program is funded by the Arizona Governor’s Office using ARPA dollars and will remain active for the duration of the shutdown.

While school meal programs are currently unaffected, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has indicated that funding will only last for approximately two more months. ASBA will continue to monitor the situation and provide timely updates to our members.

Please share these resources with your communities to help ensure families have access to the support they need during this challenging time. Additionally, ASBA has developed a template to contact your congressional representatives and advocate for an end to the shutdown in support of Arizona’s schools.

Had such a blast yesterday on our 5th-grade field trip to MIMS (Musical Instrument Museum)! 🎶 We explored instruments from all over the world, learned about different cultures through music, and even got to try out a few ourselves. It was an unforgettable day filled with discovery and rhythm! 🌍🥁

Huge thanks to all the chaperones who made this trip possible! 👏

Here are some of our favorite moments from the day:
