In Arizona, some military families are struggling to afford food

Sara Starks is a loving mother in Mesa taking care of six kids while her husband, Ben, a sergeant in the Army National Guard is deployed in Iraq. “Because we have a large family and most of our marriage we’ve been on one income, we’ve been very careful with our budget knowing what's coming in and what's coming out, but unexpected things come up,” Starks said. "I think we pay more in food than we do on our mortgage, which is a big deal.”
