A big THANK YOU to The Tucson Family Food Project and the Zuckerman Family Center for Prevention and Health for helping make this summer a healthy and delicious one for our children! 💚

Through fun, hands-on programs focused on healthy lifestyles, nutrition, and cooking, our youth had the opportunity to learn how making healthy choices can be both fun and delicious! From learning about nutritious foods to getting in the kitchen and preparing recipes, these experiences gave our children valuable skills they can carry with them beyond the summer.

We are so grateful for TFFPT’s commitment to helping our youth learn, grow, and build healthy habits for life! 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳🥕

Thank you for investing in our children and our community!

Summer Camping Trip with the teens!🏕️ 🛶
Last week some of our teens had the opportunity to attend our annual camping trip, this year we went to Patagonia Lake🌳 we all got to explore a new place! First time for everyone! Two full days of cooking, swimming, kayaking 🛶, fishing 🎣, and exploring in nature 📸. Lots of humidity, rain, thunder and lightning ⚡️ but lots of fun too and new skills learned🕶️
We thank our partners, The Udall Foundation and Parks In Focus for the opportunity to travel to new places and for all the wonderful memories our teens shared together!💚

If cleaner neighborhoods matter to you then this is your time to represent. It’s not just picking up trash, we are creating respect, making our barrios stronger by getting people together, and are actions are being heard. We can change the hood tomorrow we are the support the people need. Join us this Saturday as we pack 6th avenue and demonstrate pride and leadership. Let’s start the morning with a clean up, paint trash cans and make Macetas out of tires. We will place them in areas we have cleaned up. Gentlemen’s choice barber shop will be there to provide haircuts to folks in need along with a fire fighter wet down. We are stronger in numbers and together we can be the change. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾. If you’re looking to get involved hit us up. Currently have 10 trash cans to paint first come first serve. In the mean time I’ll try to round up more. Thank you everyone for your support 🙏🙏.
