Local support in Arizona gives day 2025 (Tuesday, April 1)

There is not a single season to give – it can be all year.

On Tuesday, April 1It is official Arizona gives day – a day dedicated to the online offer to benefit non -local profit.

Local non-profit organizations involved in the end of hunger and improving the community, like the Community Food Bank, benefit from days like this. Throughout the state, in five counties, The Community Food Bank Provides emergency food assistance for about 200,000 people each year. One third of these people are children, whose hunger negatively affects brain development, academic behavior and achievement.

Like many other non-profits, the community food bank takes online donations.

“We have an amazing day to raise $ 125,000 to continue our work, giving urgent foods to families who hit hard by raising prices for food,” the Community Food Bank shared. “It was never a more critical moment to bring together and take care of our neighbors.”

Similar efforts happen at the ground food initiatives, Inc., which offers meals to those who need in the entire Tucson East Side community.

Another place in the city that benefits from Arizona gives day is The community gardens of Tucson. The group offers a space for people to grow food, share resources and learn about durable gardening practices.

The refugee network iskashitaa Helps UN refugees integrate into the local community while “educating the public, strengthening the local food system, reducing local food and increased food security.”

Donate online to maintain their tip-shaped harvesting utility vehicle.

“The iskashita refugee network is facing a serious threat to its mission to harvest 75,000 kilograms of fruit and reinstall the UN refugees in the Tucson area. Our 22 -year -old harvesting must be replaced.

Then there is the beloved mission garden! The living agricultural museum of the fruit trees of heritage adapted by the sound desert, traditional local inheritance crops and domestic edible plants.

“With the help and participation of the Tucson community, we can continue to offer a window in the past and inspire practical, local, agricultural methods throughout our semi-arid region.”

Established in 2003, the first local Arizona focuses on community and economic development throughout Arizona – scattering, supporting and holiday entrepreneurship, rural and urban development, racial equity, environmental action and food access.

Inheritance farmers markets play a huge role in feeding those in need. By accepting food assistance programs such as SNAP/EBT, Heirloom means a lot to the local community, farmers and food sellers.

In Tucson, there is something magical about a rainy day. Here, in the desert, we appreciate the storm clouds and the same is true for the river basin management group (WMG).

“We like to educate through practical activities whenever possible,” said Lisa Shipekco-founder of the WMG. “We are doing a lot of free workshops and we offer a professional training. We have a water collection certification for a long time, some works in Advocacy and a certain coalition building. Whatever we learn is something you can easily do at home, such as low -cost flow technology, using solutions based on nature.”

These are just a few of the local organizations that could use a helping hand not only on Arizona, but throughout the year.
