RESIDENTS OF SAHUARITA GIVE BACK TO THOSE IN NEED

THE SEASON OF GIVING

Residents of Sahuarita Give Back to Those in Need

The holiday season is one filled with the spirit of giving, and is filled with plenty of opportunities to help others. Residents of Sahuarita take advantage of those opportunities in a big way each year, giving of their time, resources and talents to help those in need in a variety of ways.

In Rancho Sahuarita, residents had the opportunity all season long and at a special “Brunch with Santa” event to donate toys benefitting Toys of Tots. The generosity of the residents resulted the donation of over 100 new toys, which will be distributed to children throughout Southern Arizona. At the community’s Holiday Spectacular event, those in attendance were asked to bring donations of non-perishable food items for the Sahuarita Food Bank, and over 127 pounds of food was collected from this event alone.

Residents in Rancho Resort are also very generous each year, through their efforts for various drives and resident clubs. This year alone, at the community’s December Drive for the Sahuarita Food Bank, an incredible $7600 in monetary donations was collected. One of the resident clubs, the Sassy Sewers, also made and donated 6 premature baby crocheted outfits, 4 crocheted baby blankets, 12 quilts (adult and child sized), and 14 baby and toddler sized blankets to the Ronald McDonald House. The Vets Club at Rancho Resort also organized a collection for Toys for Tots throughout the month of December.

Other collections and drives throughout Sahuarita gave area residents the opportunity to give back, at local businesses and at churches and other organizations throughout town. With so many opportunities to get involved and to help those in need, it is easy to see why residents of Sahuarita embrace this season of giving each year.
