Local Resource Spotlight — Tempe Community Action Agency

Living in Tempe means being part of a city that truly looks out for one another — and few organizations represent that better than the Tempe Community Action Agency (TCAA).

For more than 50 years, TCAA has quietly served as a safety net for residents facing tough times. Whether someone is a senior on a fixed income, a family between jobs, or a neighbor adjusting to higher living costs, TCAA provides practical, local help right when it’s needed most.

One of their most appreciated programs is the free meals and food pantry. Residents can pick up groceries or enjoy a hot, nutritious meal in a welcoming environment — no judgment, just community. For older adults, it’s not only about food security, but also about connection and dignity.

If you or someone you know in Tempe could use a hand with groceries, nutrition programs, or other essential services, TCAA is a great place to start. You can reach them at 480-350-5880 or visit their website to learn more about volunteer opportunities, senior resources, and ways to give back. www.tempeaction.org
