St. Mary's Food Bank Alliance - Location and Background Screening Order Selection
About St. Mary's Food Bank Alliance
St. Mary's Food Bank Alliance, the world's first food bank, is a non-sectarian, nonprofit organization that alleviates hunger by efficiently gathering and distributing food to sites that serve the hungry. Serving two-thirds of Arizona's 15 counties, the organization is committed to volunteerism, building community relationships and improving the quality of life for Arizonans in need.
St. Mary's Food Bank takes very seriously and with unmatched pride its commitment as a responsible non-profit organization that is accountable to the community it serves. Over five decades, St. Mary's has tackled the challenge of easing hunger in Arizona through the vision of founder John van Hengel.
Keeping pace with the incredible upturn in need that has followed the poor economic climate and the huge rise in unemployment and underemployment, the Food Bank distributed more than 72 million pounds of food in Fiscal Year 2009-10 to meets the needs of the ever-rising number of Arizona's hungry - providing enough food into the community to provide nearly 275,000 meals per day.
St. Mary's Food Bank Alliance is a member of Feeding America. Formerly America's Second Harvest, Feeding America is the nation's largest charitable hunger-relief organization. A network of more than 200 member food banks, Feeding America serves all 50 states. Every year Feeding America provides food assistance to those who need it most: more than 25 million low-income Americans. This number includes more than 9 million children and 3 million senior citizens. As Feeding America, the organization aims to communicate the double meaning of "feeding": providing food and enriching lives. Learn more at www.feedingamerica.org.
