Christmas in Naco - Come join us Christmas Day
Can you imagine waking up on Christmas morning and finding out that “Santa” forgot to come? No Christmas warmth, food, toys… not even a blanket?
Neither could we. That’s why eight years ago the Bisbee Rotary Club decided it should help ”Santa” at the US/Mexican border located at Naco, Arizona. Each year, the Bisbee Rotary asks individuals, businesses, and organizations to assist in providing much needed food, clothing, and blankets to the poorest residents of Naco, Sonora, northern Mexico. Christmas morning, members of the Bisbee Rotary Club take time to meet at the Naco Port of Entry to share in the spirit of giving with our neighbors just across the border. When the club started this, we helped approximately 30 people. Last year it was over to 400. The poverty is severe; the need great. Please help.
We are asking you to partner with us on this year’s Christmas in Naco. Please consider a donation to this worthwhile community service effort to help our neighbors just across the line. Donations can come in many forms:
-
Monetary donations
-
Gift certificates
-
The means to purchase wholesale from your business, allowing us to purchase so much more with the money we raise or
-
In-kind contributions of basic food stuffs, blankets, and clothes.
Donations may be mailed to the Bisbee Rotary Club, PO Box 21, Bisbee, Arizona 85603; food, clothing, and blankets may be dropped off weekdays at the Bisbee Bug, 316 Tombstone Canyon, or, for our friends in Sierra Vista, at the Sierra Vista Herald offices at 102 Fab Avenue.
We also invite you to join us at the Naco Port of Entry, 8:30 Christmas morning. Spending an hour or so helping these families renders the spirit of holiday giving to its truest interpretation with heartfelt warmth.
