Food Bank Blessing
One Can At A Time
The Rotary Club of Sedona Village welcomed Jane Tusso, President of the Board of the Sedona Community Food Bank, as the featured speaker at its November 20 meeting. A long-time volunteer, Tusso offered an insightful look at the vital work of the Food Bank, which has operated independently for 43 years and serves Sedona, the Village of Oak Creek, Page Springs, and Cornville.
Tusso reported that over the past year the Food Bank assisted more than 9,600 households—representing 13,700 individuals—and distributed 259,000 pounds of food. This effort is made possible through the dedication of 54 volunteers who sustain its day-to-day operations.
Rotary members brought canned goods to the meeting as part of the Club’s ongoing support for this essential community resource. The Club expressed appreciation for the Food Bank’s continued service to area families and for Tusso’s leadership and commitment.
