PHOENIX — St. Mary’s Food Bank in Phoenix in answering the call to help the Oklahoma tornado victims.

Jerry Brown with the food bank said it’s building emergency food boxes for people who’ve lost everything.

The food bank sent over 62,000 bottle of water to Oklahoma on Tuesday and is now hoping for a rise in non-perishable food donations to restock its shelves.

Brown said this will tap into their supplies and the public can help by donating ready-to-eat meals, canned goods and water.
