Many Helped By Aid Delivered
On November 19th, the Phoenix Branch volunteers loaded a 26-foot truck and delivered 612 boxes, bikes and medical supplies to the Tohono O’odham Nation, in Sells, AZ. The donations are distributed between fourteen districts with the Nation which cover a total of 2.8 million acres of land about the size of the State of Connecticut. This is a four-hour drive from our warehouse. After unloading we returned to Phoenix! Our contacts were so happy, thankful and appreciative to receive these donations.
