Phoenix Chapter Food Drive

In November and December donations roll into United Food Bank in Mesa (UFB), and at our December meeting, the Phoenix Chapter collected 95 pounds of nonperishable foods for UFB. By May or June the shelves get fairly empty, but the need still exists. Currently, UFB has a shortfall of 300,000 pounds as compared to May 2001.

We will be collecting nonperishable foods and personal items at our May meeting to be delivered to UFB. For any additional information, contact 
Karen Zorn (klzorn@zorntech.com). (United Food Bank)

Many of UFB's clients receive food stamps. However, with food stamps you can only purchase food items, not basic necessities that people need on a daily basis. As a suggestion, personal items can come in the form of the toiletries many of us collect during our travels. Your generous tax-deductible donation will go a long way to helping those in need. The following items are needed:

Canned meats (tuna, chicken, SPAM, etc.)

Peanut butter

Canned fruit

Canned vegetables

Packaged pasta and rice

Paper goods

Personal items (toilet paper, napkins, paper plates, feminine hygiene,
toothpaste, soap, shampoo, diapers, etc.)

Hunger links
