Service Project at the Diaper Bank of Arizona
Rotarians Gordon Goodyear, Laura Ziady, Lynn Devou, Kevin Hamlin, Jerry Jordan
On May 26th, 2023, the Tucson Sunset Rotary Club rolled up its sleeves to lend a hand to the Diaper Bank of AZ. The group assembled 192 packages of feminine hygiene products in 2 1/2 hours. These packages will be distributed across Arizona's communities in need that includes low-income women, homeless women shelters, and schools, and more. The Diaper Bank is always in need of volunteers.
https://diaperbank.org/ (1 in 5 low-income women report missing work, school, or similar events due to lack of access to period supplies.
For Every $1 dollar donated, the Diaper Bank can distribute $3 worth of supplies in AZ communities!)

Using Yarn to Wrap the World in Love!
Sewing for Living participants open a box of yarn from Tucson Sunrise
"Thanks you, people will eat and school will become more affordable. I know it’s hard to imagine that yarn from Tucson ties the world together, but it does. Sewing for Living’s finished products end up in various parts of Indonesia; Hobart, Tasmania; Milwaukee, WI, Puerto Peñasco, Mexico; and Cologne, Germany.
Thanks for proving that Rotarians are “people of action” who enact sustainable change."
Thank you again and again!

Also thanks to Matthew Flores and Good Will Industries for collecting most of the yarn.
