I volunteered at St. Mary's Food Bank last week with my colleagues. This was one event that was…read moretruly fun, rewarding, and meaningful for building camaraderie among staff members WHILE serving. I'm grateful for the opportunity to serve the community while also representing an organization dedicated to service. I also want to give a special shout-out to the St. Mary's Food Bank staff for their exceptional organization and warm welcome. Joseph, in particular, was fantastic. He made the experience lighthearted while still keeping us in line (pun not intended) and he even took song requests from Prince Fans (Purple Rain). Thank you to the entire St. Mary's team for all you do, and for providing opportunities that not only support the community, but also help other teams grow stronger together. Sincerely, a visiting Minnesotan.

I once lived in a bountiful where an immense freezer could be filled with earth's goodness of vegetables and fruits for a small expense in miles and cash. Not that easy in Arizona. The freezer was donated to St. Mary's - and welcomed. We keep our pantry stocked. When the "Best By" dates geow near on pantry goods, they are donated to St. Mary's and refreshed. I want to contribute quality to those less blessed than I have been. And, St. Mary's, being a religious organization charity, blesses families, and individuals with the foundation of living - food. A good value for all.

I have sent several emails and left a VM message asking them to correct the error. I have received no reply from them. I now have to close out my account to stop the charges. Very unprofessional!!!

He had a rough past, but came to us healthy and needing to be neutered before he was available for adoption. The Rescue Alliance uses Healing Hearts Mobile Vet Unit, which services animals from rescue groups and in low income areas. After calling several times I was able to take our great dane to their Mobile Vet Unit when they were in the East Valley to get neutered. I brought him in around 9:00am to a staff of 4 friendly women! They made me feel at ease. I got a call several hours later, letting me know he was ready to be picked up at noon. They helped me load him up and gave me plenty of instruction on his post surgical care. I really appreciate people that are able to help animals in need - so 5 stars for Healing Hearts!
