Imagine growing up helping your mom deliver food to those in need – then, years later, finding yourself on the receiving end of that help. That’s the journey for Malea Chavez , the CEO of the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona , who is now making a difference for others in ways she never imagined.“It was very surreal and very emotional,” Chavez said, reflecting on her first day as CEO.
She later pursued a law degree, and her path in law eventually led her to non-profit work—a path that would bring her full circle back to the food bank.“It was only as I got older that I understood the need and importance and value of having that security and that safety net,” Chavez said.In 2023 alone, the Community Food Bank distributed nearly 35 million pounds of food across Southern Arizona, a reflection of the growing demand and the vital role it plays in supporting families.
