St. Mary's Food Bank

Today, me and four of my Comerica Bank colleagues volunteered at St. Mary's Food Bank, in Phoenix, on 37th Avenue and Thomas for several hours. St. Mary's has a massive warehouse of non-perishable food and produce. Most of the food is donated to them. They provide food to most of the shelters and other charitable organizations, such as St. Vincent DePaul. They also have locations in Surprise, Glendale and Flagstaff. They have workers and volunteers that pack boxes and sort food daily. Our assignment today was to unload 2,500 pounds of potatoes and put them into small net bags.

You, as a consumer, may also purchase prepackaged food pantry or meat boxes at extremely low prices at any one of their locations. Select this link for menu options http://www.firstfoodbank.org/fvc_menu.html
