2014 Archway Holiday Hpe and Relief Efforts

Our goal this year, collectively as an Archway Arete community, is to provide relief to the town of Hyder, Arizona. The town of Hyder, located in Yuma County, was once a World War II desert training ground for General Patton's troops, but is now known as a ghost town. It is populated today by hardworking shrimp, tilapia, and date farmers. Income is very low and with only one general store the people of the town face many challenges to meet daily nutrition, housing, and hygiene needs.

The drive is being run by the Veselovsky family, one of our own Archway families, and we are asking the rest of the of the Archway Arete community if they can generously donate the following items to the people of the town of Hyder, Arizona during the holiday season:

Kindergarten: Dental hygiene items such as toothbrushes, toothpaste floss, and mouthwash

 

First Grade: Toilet paper and paper towels

 

Second Grade: Canned Food

 

Third Grade: Dry rice, dry beans, and dry pasta

 

Fourth Grade: Flour, sugar, and oats

 

Fifth Grade: Hygiene items such as deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash

 

 

You may begin dropping off collections to classrooms starting on Monday, November 17th, 2014. The collection will end on Friday, December 5, 2014. Thank you in advance for your generous support and greathearted effort.
