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.
