The Benson Area Food Bank serves many people in Cochise County who need a little help. In 2009, they assisted more than 50 families a month with food boxes and helped over 300 people a month with assorted food items. A recent survey indicated that in the last 18 months there has been a 300% increase in the needs of the people of our community.
