The Sedona Women - Community Service Opportunities

The Community Service Committee is excited about our upcoming calendar of events.

Please let us know if you want to volunteer for a project and/or be a Coordinator for a specific project.  We are always looking for people to join our team, become coordinators, or volunteer to work with our team members on any of our projects.  

If you have an idea for a future project, please let us know.  The TSW general guidelines for a community project are below.  Also, The Sedona Women consider what projects are already committed on the calendar and the availability of volunteers.  

 1)  A clear, defined need; and         
 2)  An opportunity for our membership to participate in the execution of a worthwhile project, which in turn, offers members a platform to get to know each other better.   

We look forward to hearing from you or seeing you at one of our Volunteer Events below. 

UPCOMING VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Your Community Service Committee has been made aware of quite a few needs within the Verde Valley, and there are many opportunities for TSW members to help out. Given that Covid-19 has eliminated most in-person group projects for now, below are a variety of ways we can safely assist in filling community needs. 

Oak Creek Clean-up

Join us for another fun Oak Creek Canyon clean up with leaders from the Oak Creek Watershed Council (OCWC). This is a great event that will be fun and rewarding!

We're hoping for at least 16 volunteers to meet at Indian Gardens. Please wear long pants and shoes appropriate for rough terrain and bring water.

At 8:30, our leaders from OCWC will divide us into groups, and then we'll drive to our assigned location. There will be three different sites you can choose from depending on your level of comfort. Don't worry if you just want to stay on flat ground ... there's a clean up site just for us.

Supplies will be provided, and there will be an OCWC leader with each group who will take the trash away in their vehicle. Count on being done by 11:15-ish and, if you'd like, we can plan on lunch together at the back outdoor eating area at Indian Gardens! (NOTE: Indian Gardens does not take reservations.)

St. Andrews Dinner

Can you spare a couple of hours on Monday, September 27, to help prepare dinners for this community event? Under the leadership of Marilyn Bealafeld and her husband Mark, we'll be preparing yummy "to go" meals, putting them in clamshell containers and distributing them to recipients who drive thru to pick them up. This is a safe, gratifying activity and greatly appreciated by those who come for the meals. Volunteers will be asked to work 2-4pm, and/or 4-6pm. If you can help out, please click here.

Masks are required. See you there!

Food Bank Items of the Month

Every month TSW will suggest a couple of specific items for you to include in your Tuesday morning drop off, if possible. 

The grocery donations you drop off at the Food Bank on Tuesday mornings no longer need to contain an assortment of foods. Whatever non-perishable items you select will be gratefully accepted. Our items of the month for September will be announced soon.  
​
The contributions of our members are making a crucial difference in the ability of the Food Bank to provide for those in need. Please bring your bag to the driveway at the far side of the church building at 680 Sunset Road any Tuesday, between 7:30 am and noon. Thanks so much!! The Sedona Women ROCK!!

Please call the Food Bank directly at 928 204-2808 if you have questions. Thank you for helping your neighbors in need!!
