St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance has been bolstering its operations in northern Arizona, said Director of Public Relations Jerry Brown. In addition to supplying nonprofits in Flagstaff such as Flagstaff Family Food Center, Brown said they are also opening monthly mobile pantries in more rural areas. Brown said on Wednesday, a mobile pantry in Winslow provided food boxes to 350 families and plans are in the works to bring a similar mobile pantry to Valle. While food pantries in Tuba City and Chinle are closed at the moment, they are sending food to Kayenta. The food bank just outside Grand Canyon National Park in Tusayan also requested additional supplies which they are also sending, Brown said.
