Tina Hidy speaks with Mary McClendon, Fund Development Director of the Yuma Community Food Bank, serving Yuma and La Paz counties in Southwestern Arizona, providing hunger relief and food assistance to individuals and families facing food insecurity. McClendon discusses food distribution, volunteer opportunities, food drives, financial donations, and community resource partnerships. She also shares information about expanding access through Saturday service hours and outreach across 14 distribution sites. McClendon highlights efforts to connect neighbors with additional support services through community resource fairs. One working parent said Saturday food distributions were a blessing because weekday hours had prevented her family from receiving help. (yumafoodbank.org)
