FIRST FROST FOOD DRIVE COLLECTS 5,300 POUNDS FOR NORTHERN ARIZONA’S HUNGRY

St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance would like to thank all those who took part in the third annual “First Frost Food Drive” on Sunday Oct. 2.

Flagstaff homeowners left more than 5,300 pounds of non-perishable food items on their doorsteps and in front of mailboxes – the most food ever collected in the three-year history of the drive! More than 70 volunteers teamed to sour the neighborhoods and make sure the food was collected and brought back to St. Mary’s to fill the hundreds of emergency food boxes distributed to northern Arizona’s hungry each month.

People in northern Arizona who still wish take part, simply bring your non-perishable food donations to the St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance Flagstaff facility (1801 W. Route 66) between 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, and a St. Mary’s representative will be happy to accept your gift to help the one in four children in northern Arizona who struggle with food insecurity.
