Fall 2022 Fundraiser!
Published on October 8, 2022 by Tate Williams
Community Care Tucson is a youth/BIPOC/LGBTQ+ organized group that has been providing resources and support to unsheltered folks and others in need since 2020.
We are entirely donation and volunteer-based, and we need funds and supplies to continue and hopefully expand what we do! Please note, because we are an unincorporated collective, donations are NOT tax deductible at this time.
Our main activities are currently distributing water, gatorade, food, clothing, hygiene and first aid products to folks once a week in Armory Park in Downtown Tucson. We connect people with other resources such as medical care, employment, shelter, furniture, and transportation. We also inform the public about people in need and upcoming actions and organizing events via social media.
We need money and donated goods for a few reasons:
- The donations that came in during the height of the pandemic have slowed, and we need to periodically replenish our general fund, which we use mostly to purchase food and drinks to donate.
- We want to expand what we can offer to folks based on needs they’ve been sharing with us: hygiene products, medical and first aid, clothing and blankets, backpacks, etc.
- Because we have a growing group of volunteers, with enough resources we could expand to a second day a week in the park!
We have a goal of raising $4,000, which would go a long way toward meeting these needs. I hope you will consider a donation, and if you have any items you’d like to donate, hit the contact button and we’ll pick it up.
Thank you!!!!
