Help us serve dinner at Andre House

Thursdays | 3-7 p.m.

Andre House

Our first few weeks of serving dinner to hundreds of people in need at Andre House have gone well, but we could use a few more people to help out. We have now been set up with a group account through Andre House's online volunteer website, and through this link you can make an individual profile tied to our group.

This will allow you to pick and choose the dates you are able to serve.

Water Donations Needed

With highs already in the 90s, we have seen an increase in our unhoused neighbors coming to our campus and asking for water. To help serve those most vulnerable to the summer heat, we are asking for donations of cases of bottled water, sunscreen, and other items that can help them survive the months to come.

Chapel Rock Adult Camp

July 1st - 4th

Escape for a spiritual retreat to the pines near Prescott, unplug from the busyness of daily life to listen to God and one another. Registration is still open for Chapel Rock's Camp for Adults, which will feature the book "The Way of Love" as a guide and a presentation by our own The Reverend Canon Veronica Ritson! More information is available at the link below:

Voter Registration Deadline for Arizona's Primary Approaching!

Arizona law requires those registered Independent or No Party Declared must specify which party's ballot they would like ahead of the election. To check or update your address, party affiliation, and other voting information with the Maricopa County Recorder's office, click on the link below:

Help us prepare snack bags for our unhoused neighbors

We are seeing more frequent visits from our unhoused neighbors this summer than in years past. To try and better serve them, we are hoping to begin assembling bags of snacks to go with the water we are already providing. If you would like to help us in this effort, we are requesting donations of snack items to put in the bags. The best snacks follow these guidelines:

• Soft snacks are best. Unhoused folks often have weak teeth.
• Salty snacks help folks drink more water, replace salt lost to sweat, and actually improve hydration.
• Sugary snacks elevate mood and provide energy. 
• Plastic grocery bags make useful totes when the snacks are gone.

Examples of the kinds of items which meet these criteria are mini muffins, potato chips, Nutri-Grain bars, and boxes of portable tuna or chicken salad. Donations can be left behind the desk in the Olney Gallery or brought to the Cathedral during the week.

Nourish Phoenix Requested Items

As part of our ongoing partnership with Nourish Phoenix, we have been informed that the following items are most in-demand at the moment, and they have asked us to focus on collecting them for the people they serve:

Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, bars of soap, toothpaste, and laundry detergent. They also have a constant demand for feminine hygiene products (pads and tampons).

None of these items can be purchased with SNAP benefits, and can be very expensive for those with limited means. You can either purchase large quantities of the needed items and Nourish will divide them into smaller containers (such as the empty pill bottles we have already been collecting!) or you can purchase travel size versions of the items.

If you have any questions, please email Deacon Myra Kingsley at myra@trinitycathedral.com.
