<strong>DC</strong> RANCH GIVES<br />
The Community Council launched a comprehensive philanthropic program<br />
called <strong>DC</strong> <strong>Ranch</strong> Gives in January <strong>2017</strong>. Its mission is to provide residents<br />
with meaningful opportunities to engage with each other while giving<br />
back to the broader community.<br />
Residents participated in nearly a dozen “Gives” events in the first year.<br />
With that, they:<br />
• Packed 1,600 “Bags of Hope” at Kitchen on the Street<br />
• Collected 639 school supplies for Scottsdale’s Back to School Program<br />
• Donated 1,960 non-perishable items to United Food Bank<br />
• Prepared 60 meals for families in need at Homeward Bound<br />
A total of 110 volunteers assisted with <strong>DC</strong> <strong>Ranch</strong> Gives service projects,<br />
and almost 10,000 items were donated through collection drives.<br />
