About Us

HISTORY

 Our food Closet although now a 501C3 started out in the mid 1980’s in a coat closet in a wing of Mount of Olives Lutheran Church, Phoenix AZ. At that time we distributed food to about 5 families a week. It has grown to distributing food and other basic supplies to an average of 125 families a week. We are now partnered with St. Mary’s Food Bank and Waste Not. During the pandemic when volunteers were unavailable, the National Guard assisted with food distribution. Not knowing what the future holds, we evolved into a 501c3  so that our mission will be available for generations to come.  

Hope Happens Here!

 Olive Branch Community of Hope, in partnership with Mount of Olives Evangelical Lutheran Church, is  proud to offer monthly food boxes at no cost to members of the  community.
