Phoenix Rising FC is teaming up with United Food Bank to help the local nonprofit reach its goal of providing over one million meals to Arizona kids and families this summer.
Beginning Monday, Rising fans can secure a $5 ticket to the club’s Christmas in July match on Saturday, July 22 (7:30 p.m.), by dropping off a minimum of five canned/non-perishable items at the box office at Rising’s stadium, located at 3801 E Washington St, Phoenix, AZ 85034. The box office will be open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and noon to kickoff on July 22. Fans may purchase a maximum of four tickets per donation.
United Food Bank will be on-site on July 22 from 5 to 7:30 p.m. to assist in collecting donations in exchange for the $5 ticket offer, redeemable at the box office.

About United Food Bank’s Summer of a Million Meals
For every $1 donated, United Food Bank can help provide 5 meals to Arizonans. Summer of a Million Meals is geared towards helping the one in seven Arizona children experiencing food insecurity. Since most schools are out for the summer, many families must provide breakfasts and lunches at home. With higher grocery prices and inflation impacting other essential items, this summer will be particularly challenging for families to provide these extra meals to their children. If you are looking for free meals for your kids this summer, visit www.azhealthzone.org/foodsites to find meal distribution sites near you.
