St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance would like to thank our great friends at American Express for all of their continued dedication in the fight against hunger in Arizona. American Express is fighting the war on all fronts and the management and dedicated employees have taken the challenge to heart.
Just in the last few months American Express:
* Has donated thousands of dollars to St. Mary’s Food Bank through a matching gift program, providing enough funds for the Food Bank to distribute 50,000 meals into the community.* Held their annual non-perishable AMEX Food Drive, collecting more than 8,000 pounds of food at six locations under the fabulous leadership of Carmen Turca. This food donation comes at a critical time for the Food Bank with the long, hot summer at our doorstep.
* American Express has had scores of volunteers in the Del E. Webb Distribution Center this past month, sorting food and packing some of the more that 30,000 emergency food boxes St. Mary’s distributed directly to the hungry each month.
That’s more than 58,000 meals and hundreds of volunteer hours from a company that wants a better day for their neighbors.
Thank you American Express. Whether it be food, funds or time, your efforts are overwhelming and much appreciated.
