“The urgency is great and we require your help to meet this need in our community”—Alpine Food Bank

July 4, 2011 (Alpine)—The Alpine Food Bank reports a “significant increase” in need, according to a press release seeking donations of funds and food.

“Our economy over the last few years has been struggling, leaving many families barely scraping by to make ends meet. These people, who come from all walks of life and economic backgrounds, have one thing in common, the need to provide the basic necessity of food for their family,” says a statement issued by the Alpine Food Bank, a new partnership between Bethel Christian Assembly and the San Diego Food Bank to help those who are hungry in our backcountry areas.
