Your Charitable Tax Credit dollars to Diana Gregory Outreach Services gives a senior a chance to be healthy.
While hunger can impact anyone’s health and well-being negatively, senior citizens are particularly vulnerable. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), it’s not uncommon for older adults to go to bed hungry. Too many Arizonans living on fixed incomes (1 out of 7) go to bed hungry because they have to choose between paying for their medicine and buying food.

E nt re p re n e u r Le a d e r s h i p S T E P H A N I E VA S Q U E Z Owner of Fair Trade Cafe, Phoenix, AZ In 2006, after a life changing trip to Costa Rica, Stephanie experienced an “a-ha” moment. Moved by the culture, love and respect that Costa Ricans displayed for their coffee fields and land, she returned to Arizona knowing she would one day own her own socially conscious coffee shop. Stephanie had the concept and vision in mind, now her focus was on making it a reality. It wasn’t until 2007, in a moment Stephanie calls destiny, she was presented with the opportunity to take over the operations of Fair Trade Café. Since then, Fair Trade Café has become a staple of Roosevelt Row and a gathering place for ASU students, local organizations, business leaders and politicians. She has been recognized as Stylos 2010 Entrepreneur of the Year, 2014 Cox Latina Entrepreneur of the Year, 40 Hispanic Leaders Under 40, and most recently a recipient of the 40 Under 40 Award by Phoenix Business Journal.
Aside from Ms. Vasquez’s professional accolades, she is deep rooted in her community and is the first to do what she can to help advance causes near and dear to her. From being a Hispanic Leadership Institute alumna, to a board member of AGUILA Youth Leadership Institute, serving in multiple advisory boards and volunteering of Justice that Works where she assists in transitioning recently incarcerated women into the workforce and community. Stephanie is constantly engaged in making her community a better place to live, which is one of the reasons she created #WomenofPhoenix, a group of women in the Phoenix area whose endeavor is to empower other women in their life’s journey. Her belief that embracing socially conscious business practices creates a fruitful outcome for all and has guided her professionally and personally. As a mother of three she is working not only to continue her success through her love of coffee, but also to make the world a brighter place for her children and her community.

N o n - p rof it Le a d e r s h i p CL AUDIA K AE RCHE R Founder and Executive Director of Island Liaison, Inc. Claudia Kaercher serves as a resource providing awareness to Pacific Islanders of locally available health and educational agencies, and opportunities. Focus is on Micronesia Independent Island nations of the Freely Associated States of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of Palau. “I am Claudia Palacios Cabrera, Sablan deLeon Guerrero, Alcaraz Fajardo, a Pacific Islander of Chamorro-Filipino descent from the Mariana Archipelago in Micronesia, a region in the Western Pacific. I am married to Ted Kaercher. I honor my family by saying their names. My family and I lived on Majuro Atoll, Marshall Islands in Micronesia which was of the United Nations Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands under the U.S. administration from 1947 to 1986. When I was one-years old, the U.S. used Bikini Atoll as a thermal nuclear testing site. A total of 68 tests were done from 1946 to 1958. My 3 brothers and 4 sisters were born on Majuro Atoll during those years. We learned the English language from the Maryknoll nuns and Jesuit priest. In 1973, on Guam, a U.S. Territory, with the exception of my Mom, my family relinquished our Micronesian citizenship to became U.S. Naturalized Citizens. As a resident of Arizona for over 35 years, I am an active and positive contributor to my
community. I have been working to strengthen and bring awareness about the Pacific Islanders while working closely with other ethnic and racial communities to collaborate on issues affecting healthcare and educational enrichment programs. For over five years, Island Liaison, Inc. has served Pacific Islanders with a focus on people from the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau collectively known as the Freely Associated States (FAS). The FAS Islanders living in Arizona are here in the U.S. under an Agreement of Compact of Free Association (COFA) which allows them to reside and work in the U.S. as lawful non-immigrants. These Islanders are not eligible for many federal or state services. Island Liaison links them with locally available health and human services programs and educational opportunities. I am a member of several local and national organizations. In addition, in 2010 U.S. Census, I was the Partnership Assistant for the Pacific Islanders in Arizona.�
