Yavapai Food Neighbors Project

The Sedona Charter School, an Organizational TimeBank member, is now participating in co-production with the Yavapai Food Neighbors Project in order to help those in need of food to receive it.  

As a community, working together is the best way to help one another out. 
With the Food Neighbors Project, a bag of groceries is collected over the course of two months, collected by Neighborhood Coordinators and distributed locally to those who need it.  The recipients change with each collection and the food isn't earmarked for any one group in particular.  

1500 pounds of food was collected via 5 coordinators from the first intake which lasted only 4 weeks.  The Sedona YMCA hosted the sorting event and launched the Youth Pantry.  20 more Neighborhood Coordinators have come on board for the October 12 collection. To become involved either as a Food Donor  or a Coordinator  more information on the Project is available here: http://yavapaifoodcouncil.org/programs-and-education/yavapaifoodneighborsproject

Sedona-Verde Valley TimeBank members or Sedona Charter School Parents can contact Wendy Phenom at SVvTimeBank@gmail.com to find out about earning Time Tokens for yourself and/or the school.

Together We Make a Difference.

~Thank you for your Time~
