Making plans for 2023? Include your elderly neighbors in your plans by volunteering for Verde Valley Caregivers. While drivers are always needed, shopping for neighbors, helping them learn how to use their new phone or computer or providing respite for a caregiving family member are among the many services provided to help neighbors who are aging in their own homes.The client neighbors are very thankful for everything our volunteers do for them, often sending thank you notes. Pat writes, "Thanks for all you do all year long." Bridget writes, "Thank you all so much for helping me and for being SO wonderful!"

Benefactors of Red Rock State Park is Recruiting Board Members
See all wishes from Benefactors of Red Rock State Park
Description
The mission of the Benefactors of Red Rock State Park is “To help Red Rock State Park sustain and expand its role as a vital resource for Environmental and Cultural Education, as a model of riparian habitat preservation, and as a location for environmentally sensitive recreation.”We fulfill our mission by working under the direction of the Park Manager, funding initiatives and projects that would otherwise go unfunded. For example, we pay for transportation for groups of elementary school students to attend interactive and hands-on classes at the park. This past year, we applied for and received a $10,000 grant to replace old interpretive signs and create new ones. The signs have been fabricated and will be installed shortly. We’ve funded the installation of a new Outdoor Classroom that will be erected in December.
You can learn more about us by visiting our website at www.benefactorsrrsp.org.
If you’re interested in contributing to our efforts as a member of our Board of Directors please email chairman@benefactorsrrsp.org, and we’ll contact you.

Did you know there are homeless children living in Sedona? Hope House of Sedona is a 501(C)3 working to provide transitional housing for Sedona's homeless children and their families. Our goal is to have Hope House open by the end of 2021. After receiving a HUD grant through the City of Sedona, along with a two-year fundraising effort, we now have the funds to begin construction but we do not have sufficient funds to open the house. Before we can open the doors for residents, we're asking for financial donations for furnishings, appliances, landscaping, security system, and operating funds.Because Hope House is not yet open, some families are currently spending the cold nights outdoors. As we have previous winters, we have been able to put some of these families up in hotel rooms on the worst nights. When we hear about families that need this care, we are always scrambling to find money and housing. To better address this situation as it arises, we have decided to start the Hope House Emergency Shelter Fund. We are asking businesses, community groups, individuals and other organizations to please consider contributing to this fund.
Please support us in providing safety, security, and a better future for Sedona's most vulnerable children. You can assist in this journey by sending a check to Hope House of Sedona, 54 Bowstring Drive, Sedona 86335 or donate online at www.hopehouseofsedona.org. Please specify if you would like to designate funds to the Emergency Shelter Fund, otherwise the funds will be used for the other purposes listed above. If you have any questions, please email us at hopehouseofsedona@gmail.com or call 928-852-0001. Thank you!

Give a gift that keeps on giving for a lifetime. Bwindi Community Program has a secondary student, interrupted during his first year by the Covid-19 school closure, who needs a sponsor. He will go back to finish that term in January of 2021. The relationship developed during sponsoring is amazing. Secondary school is a huge step for a rural student. Watch his maturity develop while getting to know this student, his culture and his dreams. Go to BwindiCommunityProgram.org and look at Byamukama Derick on the Children's Page. The rest of the students have recently been sponsored. Call Jan Tanis to discuss the possibilities; a team to support him, etc. The Christmas spirit lives in these children!

Happy Thanksgiving to all who have supported Bwindi Community Program over the years. This is a crazy year, but one in which we have much to be thankful for. The graduation candidates are back in school in Uganda. This test of in-person learning with all the WHO precautions is proving to be safe. It is a group of 103 at Bishop Comboni secondary school vs full enrollment of 650. The students will be able to graduate; a few months late, but it is safe, so far. We expect the full student body to be back in school in 2021 if current conditions hold. Hooray!!! To support our efforts at education in this rural Uganda area, please call Jan Tanis at 928-204-1135 or visit the website.
