History

Community Outreach was founded in the fall of 1996 by a a group of women who, feeling grateful for their lives in SaddleBrooke, wanted to reach out into neighboring communities and help those less fortunate. 

Initially, services were directed toward the three Pinal County towns of Oracle, San Manuel, and Mammoth, also known as the Tri-Communities.  These towns receive very little government or private assistance and have high level of poverty.

In April 1997, Community Outreach was incorporated, and on August 19, 1997, the IRS recognized it as a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization.  At that time, the membership was opened to both men and women.

Community Outreach is run entirely by volunteer members living in the SaddleBrooke Adult Living Community.  We are dedicated to working with poor families, with special emphasis on the children.  We have no paid staff and no overhead.  All administrative costs are paid from dues, recycling programs, and returns on investments. All grants received from foundations and corporations are used 100 percent for our programs, with no deductions of any kind.
