Thank You to the community, businesses, and
organizations that hosted food drives this year.
Yavapai County workers did their
part by hosting Fill-A-Bucket for
the Old Town Mission.
Cottonwood Fire Department– Hosted the
Flying High Turkey
Drive, with Yavapai
Broadcasting and Fry’s
Grocery Store. Over
300 Turkey’s were
collected.
What a Blessing neighbors are. Cottonwood and Verde Valley “Neighbors” helped collect over 30,000lbs
of food this Holiday season for the Old Town Mission. While a portion of food collected is used in our
Holiday Food Boxes, much of it stocks our pantry for the next 6-7 months when we
participate in the National Letter Carrier Food Drive. Every week we have over 400
families requesting assistance and this food is given to anyone who needs it.
The following businesses participated in this year’s Fall Food Drives:
Curves, Tae Kwon Do, Denny’s, Pepe’s Café, Larry Green Chevrolet, Hyundai, Mr.
Rooter, Verde Valley Smiles, Mingus High School, FFA, CMS, CES, American Heritage, MVP, Clarkdale Jerome School, Montessori School, Accelerated Learning, Elks
Lodge, American Legion, Clarkdale Baptist Church, Safeway, Fry’s, TKD Unlimited
Martial Arts, Yavapai County, Cottonwood Chamber of Commerce, Wal-Mart, Yavapai Broadcasting.

The Old Town Mission is excited about our future in 2015. We look forward to
serving our community in new and supportive ways as we discover new needs and
have a volunteer base to help. Verde Valley residents and businesses truly care about
and for those in need. That was exampled in 2014 as private donors, businesses and
organizations helped us provide clothing, food and hot meals to 37,000 individuals
and families in need. Your financial support allowed us to pay a small staff and keep
our doors open and for that, we thank you. The Old Town Mission anticipates a
greater need in 2015 and your continued support will be greatly appreciated.
The things we get in life can make us a living...the things we give to people can make a life.... Never look
down on anybody unless you're helping them up !!!! Anonymous

They volunteered and came down to the Old Town Mission with

able to give away over 300 toys away to local children.

How can it be that another year has passed. As 2014 comes to an end, we begin to look
back on the things we have accomplished and all too often the things that we just didn’t
seem to have time to get to. Looking back though I would encourage you to focus on what
you did accomplish, focus on the things that truly matter. The Old Town Mission was
blessed in so many ways. Each of us can look back and say I helped make a difference in
someone’s life by giving to the Old Town Mission. Looking forward to 2015, I encourage
you to come down to the Old Town Mission, take a tour and see the difference you can
make by joining with us as we strive to be “Neighbors Helping Neighbors”.

our Needs.
