On January 25th and 26th, a community came together for one cause – to help veterans. At the Arizona Veteran’s Memorial Coliseum people and pets from all over the Valley came through the annual Maricopa County StandDown event to end veteran homelessness.
Over the weekend community members came together to honor Martin Luther King, Jr. through philanthropy. Activities included garden preparation and building WeekEnd Hunger Backpacks.
It’s the end of December and the new year is close by. As we look back at the accomplishments we achieved thanks to our volunteers, partners and donors this year, we are so thankful for all of the people in Maricopa County committed to joining the fight to break the cycle of poverty.
