Food Drive

SaddleBrooke Community Outreach Food Drive will be held March, 1, 2008.  This annual event is for the benefit of the Tri-Community Food Bank in Mammoth and Catalina Community Services in Catalina.  Together these food banks serve many kids, families and seniors with needs. 

We are asking the residence of SaddleBrooke to help our local communities in need by contributing canned goods and nonperishable food items. 

Volunteers are needed to be Unit Captains to deliver bags, pick up food, as well as individuals at the MVCC parking lot to sort and box the food. If you are willing to help, please call Gene and Debbie Bovee at 818-6499 or e-mail us at elbovee@aol.com. 

Through the generosity and support of the SaddleBrooke community we hope the 2008 food drive will be as successful as last year.

Teen Closet

The Teen Closet is an extension of the SBCO Kid’s Close Program which clothes children from pre-school to K-8.  The Teen Closet works with freshmen entering their assigned Amphitheater High School from either Coronado K-8 in Catalina or Mountain Vista School in Oracle.  These students are recommended by the school counselor and must meet the criteria for receiving school wardrobes.  The original concept for the Teen Closet was to give these students a leg up to feel better about themselves by having new school clothes and working with new and fresh school supplies. 

The initial shopping trip for clothes and school supplies occurs at the end of July prior to the freshman entering High School.  The shopping takes place at the Rooney Ranch Shopping Center where Target and Ross Dress for Less are located on North Oracle Road south of First Avenue in Oro Valley. Each of the selected 9th grade students will have a personal shopping consultant, an adult who is a member of Community Outreach.  That adult will shop with the student and help the student select appropriate school clothing and stay within the amount of money budgeted.  All the clothing and school supplies are paid for by SBCO. 

In order to continue in the program, the students are asked to fulfill the following requirements to qualify for another shopping trip at the end of the semester.  

  • Excellent school attendance
  • Good grades (2.0 or C average)
  • At least one meeting with your school counselor                  
  • Completion of six (6) hours of volunteer community service.

Students who fulfill these requirements each semester will be eligible for shopping trips throughout their high school years. 

In addition, Teen Closet students who complete the requirements throughout high school and main a high scholastic average are going to be eligible to compete for SBCO scholarships.

Christmas Adopt A Family
 
In 2007, over $25,000 was raised through the participation of 12 SaddleBrooke units who selected this as a Christmas project and the generous contributions to SBCO by the many other residents in our community.  Gifts were provided to 54 families in Mammoth and San Manuel as well as 151 children from the San Carlos Indian Reservation.  Adopt A Family is an annual project for Community Outreach and we look forward to your continued generous support.

Recycling

Mission Statement: To raise funds for SaddleBrooke
 Community Outreach Kids' Closet, while encouraging recycling.

  • Goal: To clothe at least two children per month.

  • Help SaddleBrooke Community Outreach by recycling aluminum cans.

  • A large dumpster is located behind the construction offices off of Ridgeview Blvd.

  • Tucson Iron & Metal picks up this dumpster once a month and then sends Community Outreach a check. The amount we are receiving is approx. $250 -$325 a month.

  • This is an excellent way for us to provide school wardrobes for the children and is a win-win situation for the kids and the environment.

Thanks in advance for your support of this program.
