Plan Ahead Now and deliver holiday gifts to seniors in December.

Be an angel and help Verde Valley Caregivers Coalition (VVCC) deliver gifts to their seniors (called 'Neighbors') living in the Verde Valley. The VVCC will be collecting donated holiday gifts at the Sedona Library and other locations in the Verde Valley.  In mid-December, our Sedona Women volunteers will then pick up the gifts for those Neighbors living in a particular area and deliver them before Christmas.  In some cases, these gifts may be the only ones they receive during the Holidays, so your help will be greatly appreciated.  Email Diane Troianello sedonagirldt@gmail.com to sign up.

Our Sedona Community Food Bank Needs Help!

Please help our Sedona Community Food Bank by bringing non-perishable food items.  Many local families and fixed income seniors are struggling with hunger, with this year’s food inflation of 10-11% making it difficult to meet their daily needs.  

In the past year, the Sedona Community Food Bank has served almost 800 unique families, with roughly 150 families shopping at the pantry each Wednesday and 30 homebound seniors receiving a large box of food delivered to their home every month.  New families sign up for food assistance every week.  During the past school year, the Food Bank also supplied 2,700 weekend emergency food packs to low-income children in our school system and provided 7,644 pounds of snacks for children in the after school and summer school programs.  

At the same time that demand and prices have increased, food and monetary donations to the Food Bank have dropped about 20%.   The Food Bank particularly appreciates the following items:

• All canned meats/fish
• Progresso soup of any type
• Peanut Butter
• Brown Rice
• Canned Fruit
• Ramen
• Pasta Sauce
• Shelf Stable Milk-8oz size
• Shelf Stable Almond Milk 32 oz

Donations can also be dropped off at the Food Bank any Monday, Tuesday or Thursday between 8am and 11am.  The Food Bank is located in the lower level of 680 Sunset Dr, Sedona, AZ 86336.
