Recent Sahuarita Food Bank at the Good Shepherd News:

The Sahuarita Food Bank at Good Shepherd is moving along smoothly under the able leadership of Marilyn Hosea feeding 25 to 30 families a month.

The anticipated food bank at the planned community center in Sahuarita will not happen due to the economic conditions facing the county. If there is to be expansion of the Food Bank to further serve the region in and around Sahuarita, it will fall upon The Good Shepherd to initiate it. 

Projects ahead include new shelving in the storage closet and a method of cooling the closet to adhere to standards.  Collaboration with the Green Valley Food Bank will allow us to pick up produce each Thursday at 9:00. Along with the Mission Board, the Sahuarita Food Bank at Good Shepherd will be working to coordinate with the National Church’s Food Justice initiative from 11/1 to 11/11/11.
