Taste Of The Nation Brings Relief To Local Families.
By Rebecca Cook
IT CERTAINLY ISN T news that in this land of the BMW and
$100 Nikes, many people go hungry. Last year over 21 million people, including eight million children,
sought relief through emergency food assistance programs. Many
of these folks were working (at minimum wage jobs), or already
receiving food stamps, which somehow never seemed to stretch far
enough. Tucson s Community Food Bank works diligently to fill the needs
of local families, but a rising demand for services coupled with
a dwindling shelf stock are worrisome, especially now that our
more charitable holiday seasons are behind us.
