MESA, AZ â A non-profit started by a mom in the east Valley is making sure no child goes hungry.
Ruth Collins says she started Arizona Brainfood after finding out from a teacher that some children were coming to school on Monday hungry and unable to focus because they didn t have enough to eat over the weekend.
She got together some friends, a lot of them moms like her, and started collecting food. More than 10 years later, they re still going strong.
