Help us fight hunger in Arizona by joining the ABC15 and Fry's Food Stores Alphabet Soup Food Drive !
On Tuesday, we called in help from Fry's, St. Mary's Food Bank and United Food Bank to man a phone bank and raise much-needed funds for both local charities.
Thanks to the generosity of our viewers, we were able to raise enough money to provide 29,070 meals! That brings the grand total we have so far collected up to 460,908 meals!
All donations received during Tuesday's phone bank will be split evenly between St. Mary's Food Bank and United Food Bank.
Remember -- $1 can provide enough food for six meals, so no donation is too small!
You can donate to the Alphabet Soup Food Drive from now through March 2.
