Bulls assist area food bank
From left, Airman Grace Alva, Staff Sgt. Steven Pflug and Senior Airmen Jon Talley and Staltyn Murillo were among the 38 Airmen from the 335th Training Squadron who volunteered at the Bay Area Food Bank in Theodore, Ala., Saturday. The volunteers sorted more than 10,000 pounds of food and boxed groceries for 540 families, according to Staff Sgt. Amber Shema, who organized the effort. The food bank, which serves the residents of the central Gulf of Mexico states of Alabama, Florida and Mississippi, is facing the challenge of helping many families in the area who’ve lost their incomes because of the BP oil spill. The food bank is part of Feeding America, the nation’s leading domestic hunger relief network. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Amber Shema)
