Thank you to those organization who made a difference this h
The Borderlands Food Bank, Croppers, Nogales Housing Authority, Making Connections 4U and Chis Corporation distributed care boxes to the elderly in Santa Cruz County on Thursday, December 23, 2021. We were able to identify those elders in our community who would benefit from it with the help of the Nogales Housing Authority and the City of Nogales. “We are extremely grateful to those organizations who contributed to this project and to caring individuals in our community who found it in their hearts this holiday season to think about our elders,” said Robert Thompson-Nogales Housing Program Director.The “care boxes” were packed and distributed by the Nogales Housing Authority Staff. The boxes included knit gloves, hats, scarves, and socks. Food edibles were included in the care boxes. Mary Dahl and Christine Courtland also provided individual donations. “This project could not have been made possible without the help of caring people across the community. We know first-hand how these people struggle to make ends meet. It is hard to maintain a living on a fixed budget with the excessive cost of basic goods. Every year, we hope to bring smiles to people in need," said Thompson. If you would like to be a part of this cause, please contact us at sccommunitycoalition@gmail.com or call us at (520) 216-5058.
