2026 Giving Saguaro!

🌵 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.

🌵 Donate Now

At checkout, you can choose to cover the processing fees so more of your donation goes to the families.

2025 Giving Saguaro!

🌵 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.
