Client visits increased 50% at The Foothills Food Bank in 2022, and the Foothills Caring Corps saw a sharp increase in requests for their services over previous years, including meals, transportation, in-home visits and other help. These two organizations play a critical role in the health of our community and our ability to help our neighbors. Now they need your help to continue their work. And you can help them while having a great time at the “Spring into Action” fundraiser. Presented by the Rotary Club of Scottsdale North, the “Spring into Action” fundraiser is set for 5-8 p.m. Saturday, March 25 at The Holland Community Center, 34250 N. 60th St., Building B in Scottsdale. The evening will include live music, wine and beer, delicious appetizers and small plates, live and silent auctions as well as a wine bottle pull. Live auction items include a PHX Police Helicopter Ride-along. Tickets are $100 per person and can be purchase on-line at https://rotaryscottsdalenorth.org/ or at the event. “This is the first time these three organizations have combined their efforts to present a single fundraiser”, said Daniel Eastburn, president of the Rotary Club of Scottsdale North. “It makes so much sense”, he continued, “because we often work together on specific projects and needs in the community. And we always support each other’s efforts and missions”. Leigh Zydonik, Executive Director, Foothills Food Bank and Resource Center said, “we share a common passion to lift up our community, and we look forward to collaborating with the Foothills Caring Corps and Rotary Club of Scottsdale on this fundraising event". "It's a sign of a great community when leaders build each other up, and the Rotary Club is showing us all the strength we have when we work together," Zydonik added. Nancy Cohrs, Interim Executive Director of Foothills Caring Corps said, “We’re grateful to be included in this wonderful community event. It takes a village to support our neighbors, and it’s because of your support that those who are aging in place are able to access supportive programs and services close to home.” Rotary Club of Scottsdale North is a 501(c) (3) organization. |
