Fundraiser in Quartzsite
Quartzsite, AZ is a town of many faces. One face is that of people who need help to feed themselves. Some semi homeless individuals come to the desert each year because they can camp in the desert and get by with little or no shelter. Other folks with very limited financial means come in their vans, trailers, etc and camp in the desert. They have shelter but very little money for food, etc. The people of Quartzsite (both permanent and transient) have organized a food bank, a feeding cafeteria, and other types of programs to care for those needing help. Funds are raised by means of spaghetti suppers. It's amazing to see hundreds of folks coming to a spaghetti supper, and each person donates $5.00 to the food fund. While folks eat, a live band plays in the background and tables are waited on by volunteers and scouts. These waiters do a great job of taking orders, distributing plates, drinks, salads, and deserts for their assigned tables.

So, are you and Debbie going? Can't believe it's as good as your spaghetti, though! :) Pete went on line and pulled up the Quartzsite calendar with all the things going on. I'll have to check that out.
ReplyDeleteThat is a neat idea. Someone was sure thinking how to help the less fortunate. That kind of thing needs to go on in many places in the US.
