Making Thanksgiving Happen

For over 20 years, The Rotary Club of SaddleBrooke has helped food insecure families celebrate Thanksgiving! The Club collaborates with IMPACT of Southern Arizona, the Elks Club, local stores and businesses to provide a frozen turkey and all the Thanksgiving trimmings to area families in need.
