History

Caring Ministries has been providing food and clothing to families for over 40 years. The work began in the early-1970s when Pastor Ross Hanna started a food ministry out of Sharing Ministries Baptist Church in the Old Pascua neighborhood of Tucson. In 1992, that ministry was established as a separate nonprofit, Caring Ministries. Today as a ministry partner of Arizona Baptist Children’s Services we continue to distribute millions of pounds of food every year.
