FEBRUARY 10, 2022

SOUPER BOWL OF CARING

This Sunday, we are taking on the Souper Bowl of Caring Challenge. Kids in our Between group will collect change and small bills following both services to support the Tempe Community Action Agency, a local food bank, to help tackle hunger on the day of the Big Game. You may also donate online HERE.

PUBLIC VACCINE CLINIC

This Sunday, February 13, we will host a public Vaccine Clinic between 9:30-3:00. Pfizer (initial doses for 5+ and booster doses for 12+), Moderna (initial doses and booster doses), and Johnson & Johnson vaccines will all be available. Walk-ins are welcome, but pre-registration HERE is appreciated. NOTE: There may be confusion, as this vaccine clinic is run by a medical group named DocGo/Rapid Reliable Testing, so registration appears to be for testing, but IS actually for vaccines. No testing will be offered at this site.

BORDERLANDS PRODUCE RESCUE

We host another Borderlands next Saturday, February 19, bright and early from 6:30 - 11am in the Arcadia parking lot. We would love to see you there if you can make it! It’s a great way do some outdoor community service, enjoy the cool mornings, and help with environmental and food justice work in our community. Email Amy for more information.

COVID TESTING

We’re partnering with Embry Health to become a free COVID testing site beginning February 19. They will operate from 9am - 7pm daily, setting up their station at the far southeast corner of the parking lot and using the far south entrance to enter and exit the lot.
