Letter to the Editor: Support shown for Food Center's 'noble cause'

Aug 25, 2024
Aug 25, 2024

We take this opportunity to thank Ethan Amos, president and CEO of the Flagstaff Family Food Center (FFFC), for the orientation to and tour of the FFFC 2nd Street location. We are so impressed by the services that he and his team offer to the food-insecure residents of Flagstaff and the greater northern Arizona region. Last year, the Food Center served more than 434,000 meals and distributed 85,000 food boxes to area residents. We encourage those in northern AZ who are fortunate enough to be able to do so to support the Flagstaff Family Food Center, an AZ state-qualifying charitable organization. What a noble cause.
