Standing Steady.
As the desert sun bears down and temperatures climb, the saguaro stands steady. Deep roots, arms raised, still reaching for the sky. In many ways, our local nonprofits are doing the same.
Even in the heat of hard times, this community doesn’t give up. We adapt, we organize, we keep showing up for each other and for Southern Arizona.
If you’re looking for ways to stay connected this summer, here’s what’s coming up at CFSA:

In Community,
