Do you have a free morning during the week?

The Saguaro Christian Church office is a happening place during the week much more happens on our church campus besides Sunday service!

We're looking for 1-2 volunteers each morning to help from 9:30 am-12:30 pm in the office.

Volunteers may answer phones, take messages, accept donations, hand out food bags, resource individuals who come seeking assistance, and help share God's love on the corner of Broadway and Sarnoff by getting to know our neighbors.  Will you volunteer to be one of these helpful people, one morning a week? Give us a call if you want to know more. 520-296-5901

Saguaro's partner for medical equipment

We've recently partnered with PMHDC Southwest Medical Aid (PSMA). Mary Renaud and Cathie Carson discovered that this organization would accept all the donated wheelchairs, walkers, shower benches, etc. that the church had accumulated. In turn, PSMA will provide us with any medical equipment needed by members of our congregation and community, free of charge. We gain extra storage space and a terrific non-profit partner!

Saguaro's Community Water Station

Saguaro Christian Church has upgraded its styrofoam cooler cold-water cooler station to a Community Water Station, courtesy of Community on Wheels and Community Care Tucson. Community Water Stations provide publicly accessible drinking water to anyone who needs it. Stations are hosted primarily outside of privately owned locations that are open to the public and are strategically placed to serve vulnerable Tucsonans who struggle to stay hydrated in the desert heat.

Saguaro is the first church in Tucson to host a station. It is also the farthest east water station in Tucson.

Please bring in clothing for Casa Alitas!

At Casa Alitas we try to provide basic clothing (one set of underwear and socks) and if needed, shirt, pants, jacket, and if we have them, shoes. However, the new funding does not allocate money for clothing, so now, more than ever, clothing donations are needed. We are focused on only serving families with children under 10, pregnant women, and other vulnerable people. (Other LPAs are sent to another shelter, run by a for-profit entity.)

Saguaro has been faithful in making clothing donations; your ongoing support is valued. Please continue to remember those struggling to seek a better life here. Please bring your clothing donations to the large bin in our narthex.
