PHOENIX \u2014 Arizona families are struggling to put food on the table as inflation continues to rise and the holiday season approaches. With potential changes to SNAP benefits<\/a> creating additional uncertainty, local food banks are preparing for an unprecedented wave of need.<\/p>\n

St. Mary’s Food Bank is bracing for increased demand during these challenging economic times. The organization serves as a critical lifeline for Arizona residents facing food insecurity, providing essential support when families need it most.<\/p>\n

That’s why on Wednesday, October 29, ABC15 is partnering with St. Mary’s Food Bank for a phone bank fundraiser from 4 to 7 p.m. to raise money.<\/b> <\/p>\n
