Help me support charities in need.

We've seen the videos ...
Kids are having virtual birthday parties and front yard car parades filled with friends they haven't seen in weeks.
There are weddings on Zoom. And happy hours have gone digital.
As we unite to #StayHome and fight this pandemic, we've learned how to stay connected and celebrate life's milestones in new ways.
We may be isolating, but we shouldn't be isolated.

That's why today I'll celebrate another year. Yes, it is my birthday! 🎂
The celebration will
certainly be different than years past, but it will be purposeful.
On this day, I'm asking you to join me in supporting organizations that work to maintain critical food supply for our most vulnerable families.
As an animal lover, I'm also supporting our local shelters. Many of them do critical work throughout our community but are facing a severe drop in much-needed donations.
If you are able to give during this time, find links below to some recommended nonprofits. This list is by no means complete. There are many organizations on the frontlines of this crisis, and I encourage you to give to whatever groups you know and trust.
Since 2001, they have provided nearly 20 million pounds of food to our neighbors in need. They are at the forefront of East Valley food assistance programs.
Feeding America
The Feeding America network is the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief organization. They work with local food banks across the country and here in Arizona. During this time of uncertainty, our food banks are hard hit for resources.
Medical Animals in Need
M.A.I.N. takes in the injured and sick that stand no chance at all of being rescued in traditional animal shelters. After rescue, these animals are provided needed (and often costly) medical care. They recover in loving foster homes and once medically cleared, they are placed up for adoption.
May you stay safe and be well,
-Joan Greene and Sawyer (one of my pups, pictured above)
