The Joy You Bring

A Letter from Our President & Chief Executive Officer – Tom Kertis

You put nutritious food on the tables of hungry neighbors when you support St. Mary’s Food Bank this holiday season. What you may not be aware of is the joy you bring to the people you help, especially this time of year.

With holiday celebrations and food seemingly everywhere, many families often feel left out of the festivities — like they’re on the outside looking in. That’s where your compassion and generosity come into play.

I wish you could see the joy (sometimes accompanied by tears) on their faces when they walk out of St. Mary’s Food Bank with a box brimming with delicious foods — even turkeys — knowing they too will be able to celebrate around the table. Truly priceless!

You are the reason for that joy. It’s only because of caring friends like you that St. Mary’s Food Bank can get food to those in need across Arizona. So thank you, and if you are able, please continue your kind support with a generous gift today.

Every $1 you share provides 7 meals for children, families, and seniors. Just imagine all the good you will do . . . all the joy you will bring!

Best wishes this fall,
