In addition to the food boxes, the food bank gives away perishables, like fresh baked goods and produce, that are donated by Phoenix area grocery stores and food producers. She said the number of donations to the food bank have increased as the economy has worsened but each donation is smaller and the gap between donations and what the food bank needs is widening.

  • 22 JUNE 2009 - PHOENIX, AZ: Shawn Cooper, who is known on the street as "Zero," walks back to the Veterans' Administration hospital after picking up some food at the Cultural Cup Food Bank. Zero, an unemployed Army vet, was referred to the food bank by workers at the VA. He said he wouldn't be able to eat regularly without the food bank's help. The Cultural Cup has become a sort of community center. It started as a food bank and has since grown to include a clothing bank and free walk in clinic. The walk in clinic at the Cultural Cup Food Bank started two years ago when Cultural Cup founder Zarinah Awad wanted to expand the food bank's outreach and provide basic medical care for the people who use the food bank. The clinic sees, on average, 7 - 11 patients a week. Awad said that as the economy has worsened since the clinic opened and demand has steadily increased. She attributes the growth to people losing their jobs and health insurance. The clinic is staffed by volunteers both in the office and medical staff. Adults are seen every Saturday. Children are seen one Saturday a month, when a pediatrician comes in. Awad, a Moslem, said the food bank and clinic are rooted in the Moslem tradition of Zakat or Alms Giving, the giving of a small percentage of one's income to charity which is one of the Five Pillars of Islam.

  • 05 NOVEMBER 2013 - PHOENIX, AZ:    WILLIAM DAVENPORT, a worker at St. Mary's Food Bank in Phoenix, AZ, greets clients as the doors open. Demand at St. Mary's Food Bank has continued to increase even as government assistance is reduced. Over the summer, St. Mary's Phoenix location provided emergency food for 300 - 400 families per day. They are currently supporting about 600 families per day. Part of the increase is seasonal but a large part of it is no clients coming to the food bank for the first time. More than 1.1 million Arizonans who use the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known as food stamps, saw their benefits reduced Friday, Nov. 1, in a long-planned national cut that was tied to the economic stimulus which was a part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The cuts imposed last week range from $11 a month for a single recipient to $65 or more for large families. Many of SNAP receipients already use food banks to supplement their government assistance and the cuts in the SNAP program are expected to increase demand even more.   PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

The Cultural Cup has become a sort of community center. It started as a food bank and has since grown to include a clothing bank and free walk in clinic. The walk in clinic at the Cultural Cup Food Bank started two years ago when Cultural Cup founder Zarinah Awad wanted to expand the food bank's outreach and provide basic medical care for the people who use the food bank. The clinic sees, on average, 7 - 11 patients a week. Awad said that as the economy has worsened since the clinic opened and demand has steadily increased. She attributes the growth to people losing their jobs and health insurance. The clinic is staffed by volunteers both in the office and medical staff. Adults are seen every Saturday. Children are seen one Saturday a month, when a pediatrician comes in. Awad, a Moslem, said the food bank and clinic are rooted in the Moslem tradition of Zakat or Alms Giving, the giving of a small percentage of one's income to charity which is one of the Five Pillars of Islam.

  • 05 NOVEMBER 2013 - PHOENIX, AZ: CODY SHUMWAY, a volunteer, puts food into a client's car at St. Mary's Food Bank in Phoenix, AZ. Demand at St. Mary's has continued to increase even as government assistance is reduced. Over the summer, St. Mary's Phoenix location provided emergency food for 300 - 400 families per day. They are currently supporting about 600 families per day. Part of the increase is seasonal but a large part of it is no clients coming to the food bank for the first time. More than 1.1 million Arizonans who use the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known as food stamps, saw their benefits reduced Friday, Nov. 1, in a long-planned national cut that was tied to the economic stimulus which was a part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The cuts imposed last week range from $11 a month for a single recipient to $65 or more for large families. Many of SNAP receipients already use food banks to supplement their government assistance and the cuts in the SNAP program are expected to increase demand even more.   PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
