The Globe branch of the Gila Community Food Bank was burglarized on Sunday. An unknown person or persons broke in, destroyed an undetrminable amount of donated food items, and stole essential office items. The burglar or burglars also stole the Food Bank van and maliciously wrecked it near the Globe Cemetery. Volunteers now have to use their personal vehicles to collect food for the hungry.
In a press release yesterday the Gila Community Food Bank said these destructive actions will not stop them from serving more than 500 hungry families in the Globe-Miami area.

Arizona Food Insecurity Rising
The United States Department of Agriculture says that more than 15% of Arizona households do not have consistent, dependable access to enough food for active, healthy living. That’s a 5% increase from the last report.
Public News Service says that Arizona food banks are seeing a lot of families who have lost their jobs and exhausted their savings as the recession continues.
Fortunately, donations to the state’s food banks are holding up well, in spite of the record demand for emergency food boxes.
More than 1600 Arizona households were polled for the annual USDA survey.
