We invite all attendees to help by bringing <strong>nonperishable food donations<\/strong>, especially <strong>peanut butter, canned fruit or vegetables, rice, beans, canned pasta sauce, pasta, mac and cheese, and ramen noodles<\/strong>. While the Food Bank purchases food from the United Food Bank, it\u2019s often not enough to meet the growing needs of local residents. Your contributions will directly support families throughout the Santa Cruz Valley community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Santa Cruz Valley Food Pantry<\/strong>, operating under <strong>CAHRA<\/strong>, the designated Community Action Program for Pinal County, serves residents across the county\u2014primarily in Eloy, Toltec, Picacho, and Arizona City\u2014without turning anyone away for lack of documentation or residency. The pantry distributes food several times each month and hosts major holiday food drives, assisting over 350 families during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. Despite limited space and challenging conditions, volunteers distribute an average of <strong>1,300 food boxes (over 45,000 pounds of food)<\/strong> monthly and manage a <strong>diaper and incontinence program<\/strong> that supports over 100 men, women, and children each month. The pantry\u2019s dedication to serving its community is remarkable, and your donations will help sustain this vital work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>RALLY &amp; CAMPING FEE<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>$15\/person Rally Fee<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>15 Group Sites have been pre-paid for camping by the club.
