Community Food Bank
The Community Food Bank is helping more people than ever. You can help them!
The Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona is no longer in need of volunteers because the National Guard is helping out. However, they do need cash donations because of increased demand for food, since a lot of people have been laid off. They expect some support from both the State and Federal governments, but need some short-term funding until that comes in. If you are able, click here to make donations directly to the Food Bank. Your contributions will be most welcome!
