Noah's Kindness Project: St. Mary's Food Bank.
Approximately 1 out of 8 households in America were food insecure in 2016. That’s 41.2 million Americans, including 6.5 million children living in households in which both adults and children were food insecure.
For a country that has so much, how can so many be going without? How can so many be uncertain as to when they’ll find their next meal?
This year, for Noah's Kindness Project (NKP), we are bringing back the Food Drive. Last year, more than 1,205 pounds of food was collected at two sites through donations connected to our group! Yes, 1,205 pounds of food went to help individuals in our community who may often go to bed each night hungry. Thank you for your help.
We will be collecting food this year at Jarrett’s office, Lubin & Enoch, P.C., 349 N. Fourth Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85003. Food is presently being collected and will be accepted during business hours on weekdays through Wednesday, October 4. If you are not in a position to drop food off there but still wish to join in this collection effort, please feel free to contact us offline to try to coordinate a pick-up or drop-off date and time elsewhere.
St. Mary's has identified a number of foods and other items as the most needed, including canned foods and diapers. Please see the list at http://www.firstfoodbank.org/…/2…/10/Top-Ten-Most-Wanted.pdf.
Thank you!
Until next time,
Angie and Jarrett
