Hi John,

Today, we honor and support the organizations that protect our vulnerable communities and exist to provide service.

Today is Arizona Gives Day.

As we face the COVID-19 pandemic, many nonprofits need our help more now than ever. These frontline organizations are critical to helping us get through this time and as we move forward.

If you are able to donate, I have listed some ways to give below. This list is by no means complete. Please give to whatever organizations you know and trust. They all need our support.

Also, thank you to everyone who responded to last week's email about nonprofit groups who are critical to protecting vulnerable women, children and families during this time. We have been sharing your suggestions.

Please stay connected and stay safe.

Together,
Anita
