Tucson Village Farm – $445,000

Project Description: Tucson Village Farm is an education-based urban farm that reconnects children to a healthy food system, teaches them how to grow and prepare fresh food, and empowers them to make healthy life choices.

The Farm offers year-round, hands-on agriculture and nutrition-based programs for youth of all ages, as well as programs for the community and families. We serve urban youth from all socio-economic backgrounds; however, we focus on those who are low-income and at-risk. We teach children about the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle and help them develop leadership skills that empower them to create change within their own lives, families, and communities. In 2017, we delivered 44,851 hours of direct programming to 12,913 Pima County children.

The Angel Charity Culinary Education Center for Children will enable us to safely teach 13,000 + kids/year how to prepare healthy meals from fresh food and provide the education and scaffolding they need to create brighter, healthier futures for themselves, their families, and the community. Having a teaching kitchen on site is the last slice of the Farm programming “pie” keeping us from truly carrying out our seed-to-table mission; in addition to providing a tremendous resource for children and families across Tucson, the kitchen will bring in revenue through the sale of value-added goods and rental of the space, ensuring that Tucson Village Farm remains a sustainable resource for the children of Pima County for many years to come.

Diaper Bank of Southern Arizona – $600,000

Project Description: The Diaper Bank provides an emergency supply of diapers to children and families living at or below the poverty line through 53 partner agencies in Southern Arizona. With only three full-time staff members equivalents and more than 2,000 volunteer hours, the Diaper Bank distributes 9 million diapers per year to infants and children in Pima County.

The Diaper Bank is the nation’s first diaper bank, and for 23 years, has served as the model for more than 220 diaper banks across the country. Diapers are the single largest expense outside of food, clothing and shelter in a family’s budget, costing up to $100 a month. One in three American mothers struggle to provide an essential change of diapers to their children. Diapers are not covered by WIC, food stamps, or any other safety net program. In order to hold down a job or get an education, parents need access to child care, which requires a full day’s supply of diapers before a child can be dropped of.

The Diaper Bank was selected by Angel Charity to receive a gift of $600,000 to eliminate it’s mortgage. By eliminating the mortgage, the Diaper Bank will allocate those funds to buy more than 8.5 million diapers for the babies and children in our community who need them.[/one_half][one_half_last]
