Esperanza organized, and hosted the Ahwatukee Foothills CROP Hunger Walk on November 13 at Desert Foothills Park. The fundraising event received $11,000 in donations! Seventy-five percent of the donations will be used by Church World Services, a faith-based organization transforming communities around the globe through just and sustainable responses to hunger, poverty, displacement, and disaster. Twenty-five percent of the donations will be donated to the Kyrene Family Resource Center to help stock food shelves.
