The Yavapai Food Bank needs to restock its shelves as summer comes to an end, and you can help meet that challenge.  Food Bank Director Bob Wilson explains the Quad City Hunger Challenge involves sign-up with the Yavapai Gaming Agency to get collection bins to be placed at participating businesses. Once the bin at the business is full, the Food Bank will come pick it up and replace it with another one.  The donation amount is equal to 1 dollar per pound of food collected.  Wilson says this where the Challenge part comes in. Last year, the Challenge raised 12 thousand dollars, and the Yavapai Prescott Tribe donated an additional 15 thousand.  For information on bin locations, go online to quadcityhungerchallenge.org or buckyscasino.com.  The challenge runs tomorrow through October 31st.

Still haven’t gotten your children immunized yet?  You can take care of those shots for free this week.  Health Services spokesman David McAtee explains why no cost shots are being offered this week only.
