We can’t thank them enough! Thanks to them not only will the Summer STEM program be able to happen but we will be able to also include a meal with every class and maybe a few other small summer events as well! It’s beautiful when you see a company pouring into the youth of the community!

This weekend, a group of men working away from home came together with their coworkers alongside Janel, and her amazing staff at Motel 6 in Safford to support the families we serve. After hearing our pantry was in need of diapers and wipes, they stepped up in a big way and collected an incredible donation for our community. ❤️

Many of these individuals were unable to spend Mother’s Day with their own mothers and families, so they chose to honor mothers in our community instead — by helping make sure local parents have essentials for their babies. That kind of kindness and compassion speaks volumes.

We are beyond grateful for the generosity, support, and heart shown this weekend. These diapers and wipes will make a real difference for families right here at home.

If you’d like to get involved and give back, our pantry is always accepting donations of diapers, baby essentials, non-perishable foods, and hygiene items.

You can also support our current food drive benefiting the Northern Arizona Community Food Project, proudly supported by Key Cannabis in Springerville. Every donation helps support neighbors in need throughout our community. 🩷
