🌵 The Giving Saguaro: A Season of Direct Giving and Tucson Generosity 🌵

Each winter, The TACO Team comes together to spread warmth and kindness through The Giving Saguaro — our annual direct giving campaign supporting Tucson families in need.

Last year, thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we raised over $5,300 and brought holiday joy to 23 local families with $100 gift cards, thoughtful gifts, sweet treats, and wrapping supplies. This year, we’re reaching even higher — with a goal of $6,000 to continue this tradition of care and connection.

Your donations will help us provide $100 Visa gift cards, new gifts, wrapping paper and supplies, and homemade baked goods to at least 20 Tucson families who could use a little extra help this season.

We’re collecting funds and items through December 12th, and every contribution — no matter the size — makes a real difference.

The past few years have been challenging for many in our community. By donating to The Giving Saguaro, you’re not just giving gifts — you’re giving hope, dignity, and the reminder that Tucson stands together.

💛 Please give what you can. Every dollar grows kindness in our desert.

The Road So Far…

It’s been a long journey so far, follow us as we show you where we’ve been and what we’ve accomplished so far.

Winter Solstice 2015- a group of us heathens were sitting around the bonfire talking about all the things we wish we could do to help our community. Many lofty ideas were brought up and maybe we’ll get there someday. The seed was planted then to start this group.
