<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 />
