PHOENIX FOOD BANK HAVING TROUBLE KEEEPING UP WITH DEMAND
New numbers released Monday from St. Mary's Food Bank show it has already distributed more food in the first eight months of this year than it did in all of 2008 and most of thefamili...es using the assistance have never used it before.
St. Mary's CEO and President Terry Shannon says the demand for emergency food assistance has skyrocketed and nearly 53 million pounds of food in 13 of Arizona's 15 counties were distributed last month.
