St. Mary’s Food Bank is truly a community-based organization that help feed hungry individuals and families. This organization supplies food to all families.  The St. Mary’s Food Bank have a shared mission to serve to alleviate hunger through the gathering and distribution of food while encouraging self-sufficiency, collaboration, advocacy and education. One in four children in Arizona lives in poverty and is at risk of going to bed hungry nightly. Arizona ranks 47 out of 50 states in the number of children who may not know where their next meal is coming from. St. Mary’s Food Bank vision along with the AMS school site is to see that no child goes to bed hungry, so they can live healthy and productive lives.
