We’re kicking off the month of food in our 100 Days of Summer campaign this July with our Summer Pantry Challenge! 👊 We challenge YOU to join our creative food drive running now through July 31, to help feed our neighbors in need while adding a fun twist to giving back. 😃 This is a perfect opportunity for kids, groups, or colleagues to come together and make a difference. Check out how to get started in this cool graphic. Don't forget to post your creation on social media using our hashtag #SVdPPantryChallenge and tag to nominate 2-3 more people or groups to take on this challenge next! The drive can be as easy as asking your neighbors, friends, and family to donate items from their pantries or as ambitious as brainstorming ways to gather even more goods. Whichever route you choose, make sure to have fun! Ready to start? Click here to register your drive: https://lnkd.in/gsAjPgT2

This past month, CCMC, a large-scale community management firm, united with three of its community partners and eight of its Valley communities to support SVdP's 100 Days of Summer campaign. Together, they spread the word about our campaign to help collect much-needed water for our neighbors experiencing homelessness. And today, thanks to their collective efforts, SVdP's truck departed from CCMC's corporate office in Scottsdale, loaded with approximately 5,000 bottles of water! To make an even greater impact, CCMC has pledged to match all donations doubling the impact, bringing it to more than 10,000 bottles of water! What a wonderful gift to those in need. THANK YOU!

Yesterday, SVdP proudly hosted its inaugural Juneteenth celebration, welcoming over 200 community members and staff to our main campus for a special event. Attendees were greeted by the vibrant sounds of afro beats performed by Kapsol Music. Guests enjoyed a delicious breakfast while hearing from Bob and Beverley Elliott, founders of the African American Museum of Southern Arizona, as they shared the history of Juneteenth and its significance for our state. 💚💛❤️🖤 Our Director of Resource Center, Cherylyn Strong, opened the program with these inspiring words: "Freedom is highly valued here at St. Vincent de Paul. The freedom of every human to thrive, to be nourished, to be sheltered, to be safe, to be respected. Our values are reflected in our mission to feed, clothe, house, and heal together our brothers and sisters in need."

Today was a rewarding afternoon dedicated to giving back! 🙌 Our Rising Leaders of St. Vincent de Paul came together to make a life-saving difference, assembling 150 heat-relief kits for our most vulnerable community members experiencing homelessness. Each participant contributed an item, demonstrating how collective effort can lead to big impact. Each kit contained essential cooling supplies like chapstick, snacks, electrolytes, towels and more stuffed inside a water bottle. Thank you Rising Leaders of St. Vincent de Paul!
