The need for affordable food continues to grow across our community. GAP Ministries’ 05 Market responds every day.
Recently, AZPM featured the 05 Market in a news story. The story highlights rising demand for food assistance. In addition, it explores challenges families face while stretching household budgets.
GAP Logistics Director Matt Clauer shared insights in the story. He explained that more families are turning to the 05 Market for support. As a result, grocery prices and living costs continue to strain households.
Access to free and low-cost food is essential for many families. The 05 Market serves the community through two shopping options.
First, the free side provides donated food at no cost. Availability changes weekly based on the donations we receive.
Second, the paid side offers discounted groceries and essentials. These come from purchased freight loads of overstock, short-coded, discontinued, and surplus products. As a result, shoppers can access quality items at reduced prices.
Every day, the 05 Market helps families put food on the table while preserving dignity and choice. It is one of the many ways GAP Ministries brings help to those facing difficult circumstances.
Watch the AZPM story and see the growing need in our community, and how the 05 Market serves thousands of individuals and families.
