  • Annual Report 2011-2012
    Annual Report 2011-2012 Thank you for helping us Reduce Hunger and Increase Awareness. More than Food. Hope. Message from the President & CEO and the Chairman of the Board of Directors For the past several years, St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance has needed to grow by leaps and bounds to keep pace with the unprecedented need that has affected one in five families in Arizona - including one in seven seniors and, tragically, one in four Arizona children.
