Tour of St Mary's Food Bank

Making food for school lunches

We learn so much on Historical League tours. This one was filled with knowledge of all the wonderful things that St. Mary's Food Bank does. The first food bank in the world was started in Phoenix by John van Hangel in 1967 while he volunteered for St Vincent de Paul. I don't think even he realized the impact his work had.
