Speaker: David Postal, St Mary’s Food Bank Alliance.
The amount of food available has increased by 76% in 2008-2009.
Food is obtained from any source available. St Mary’s distributes 60 million pounds of food and works with many other organizations to deliver food. Many other food Pantries get food from St Mary’s.
The food bank has several other organizations under its umbrella, and many volunteer hours go into running these programs.
Less than 4 cents on every dollar is used for running the food bank.
Christmas food boxes are distributed to 196 families (2 boxes/4 person family). The Food bank puts out 7 meals for $1.00. Arizona matches dollar for dollar donations to the food bank.
Different Food banks have their own service areas, but TRS members can work with St. Mary’s Food bank or with “United”, the other food bank in its area..
Today’s drawing was won by Bobbi de Haan who drew the 10 of spades. Too Bad.
Adjournment at 7:55 am by President Ben Eubank
Martha thanks TRS for the opportunity to serve as Secretary-and with Donna Eubank as Treasurer. Next week Briana takes over as Secretary.
