About Us

Driven by more than 600 volunteers and 120 faith communities, ICS provides comprehensive resources for people in crisis throughout Tucson, with its food bank, mobile food bank, emergency financial assistance, life advancement programs and senior services including mobile meals and food box delivery.

The mission of ICS is to provide pathways leading to more stable and self-sufficient lives.

ICS is a nonprofit, social services agency serving Pima County, including metropolitan Tucson. For four decades, ICS has shown what a caring community can do. Today, with support from diverse faith partners, compassionate volunteers and hundreds of community friends, ICS fills critical gaps in human services.

At its onset in 1985, ICS served several hundred people a year. Today, community need and our services are growing profoundly. ICS presently provides services to nearly 60,000 people each year. From a nutritious meal or food bank provisions for a low-income senior or family in financial distress, to job counseling that helps an out-of-work breadwinner regain sustainable employment. From rides to the doctor’s office, to assistance with mail, bills or small home repairs for clients who can no longer see or achieve mobility, ICS meets essential needs in very practical ways.
