You can help food bank

(Arizona Star Editorial - The Ward 5 Council Office also has boxes for drop off of food items for the Food Bank at 4300 S. Park.)

The Community Food Bank is struggling to serve an increasing number of Southern Arizonans who need help during this holiday season and beyond.

Because the food bank can buy in such large volume, it can turn a $1 donation into about $9 worth of food, enough for several meals. Tucson's Community Food Bank serves individuals and families in five Arizona counties — Pima, Graham, Greenlee, Cochise and Santa Cruz. Branch food banks operate in Ajo, Amado, Green Valley, Marana and Nogales.

The Community Food Bank is at 3003 S. Country Club Road, 85713.
