The Florence Copper Community Foundation has awarded a $1,000 grant to Casa Grande Alliance to support its vital Food, Clothing, and Diaper Bank. This program provides essential resources, including food, clothing, and diapers, to underserved individuals and families throughout the Casa Grande area. Operated by Casa Grande Alliance, the Food, Clothing, and Diaper Bank plays a critical role in offering assistance to those in need, including Title 1 students and individuals seeking professional attire as they transition back into the workforce.
Casa Grande Alliance was founded in 1995 with a mission to build stronger youth and families by delivering essential services and providing access to vital resources. Through programs like the Food, Clothing, and Diaper Bank, the organization helps foster resilience within the community.
The grant will help Casa Grande Alliance purchase much-needed industrial-sized wardrobe closets for the storage of donated clothing, as well as provide back-to-school outfits and professional attire for individuals reentering the workforce. The Food, Clothing, and Diaper Bank has already served over 4,700 individuals this year, and this funding will significantly enhance the program’s capacity to meet the growing needs of the community.
Greta Edwards, Executive Director of Casa Grande Alliance, expressed her appreciation:
“We are deeply grateful for the generous $1,000 donation to our clothing bank. This contribution will significantly enhance our ability to provide essential clothing items to those in need within our community. Your support not only helps to meet immediate needs but also fosters a sense of dignity and hope among individuals and families facing difficult times. Together, we are making a meaningful impact and strengthening the fabric of our local community.”
