The St. Mary's Food Bank is in Phoenix, but food banks all over the world need your help. I'm sure the facts and figures from here are echoed in other areas.
In AZ, over 900,000 Arizonans live at or below the poverty guideline. which for 2009 is $22,050 for a family of 4. One in f AZ children (338,000) live in poverty and the average age of the homeless in AZ is 9. That's right, 9!
Of those receiving emergency food in AZ, 41% are children and seniors.
Be kind to others as you have opportunity.
