🌵 The Giving Saguaro 2026: Direct Giving for Tucson Families 🌵
Every winter, The TACO Team runs The Giving Saguaro, our annual direct-giving campaign for Tucson families who could use extra help during the holidays. No middleman, no platitudes. Neighbors helping neighbors, for goodness’ sake.
Last year, 25 supporters raised $4,223. This year we’re aiming higher: $6,000 from 40 donors.
Where your money goes
- $100 in cash for each family
- New gifts plus wrapping paper and supplies
- Homemade baked goods
Why cash this year? In past years we gave Visa gift cards, but their activation fees ate into every donation. Cash means more of your gift reaches the family.
We’re starting with about 20 families, and that number may grow as more families register. If we raise more than those families need, the extra goes to families who register later.
📅 Donations close Friday, December 11, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. Arizona time. We’ll post the results once the campaign ends, so you can see exactly what your gift did.
Your Gift Goes Further This Year!
Two generous matching donors are matching gifts to The Giving Saguaro, up to $500. Help us reach $6,000 for Tucson families by December 11.
