Palm Valley Church and Community Impact with Tere Tucker and Agua Fria Food and Clothing Bank with Leanne Leonard E17

Palm Valley Church created a non-profit entity, Community Impact. Community Impact exists to work together with their neighbors, local government, businesses and schools to build relationships by bringing all together for the good of the community. Their goal is to discover the assets, talents, gifts and passions in the community to meet the needs for transformation and hope by creating those partnerships. Palm Valley Church is a PEACE Plan Church which means that there are five giants that bring chaos in the world in various degrees locally and globally; they are spiritual emptiness, corrupt leadership, poverty, disease and illiteracy. If the Church can begin to take steps in addressing these giants it will bring peace to the world and will bring about a servants heart, actions and the important of serving others.

Tere Tucker has been a member of Palm Valley Church for over 6 years and the Director of Local Missions and Community Impact for 2 years. She comes from a background of owning her own software business where she has semi-retired and is now more available for volunteer work. Her passion is helping to make life a little easier and giving hope to those struggling, by looking at what the specific needs are in the community, and working with the community partners to bring about sustainable change. Since Palm Valley Church is a “PEACE Plan” Church it gives her this chance to be used by God to make these changes.

For the past 23 years the Agua Fria Food and Clothing Bank has been faithfully serving the people of the southwest valley. Their mission, as a faith based non-profit organization, is to provide services to families and individuals in the southwest valley who are hungry, in need, or facing crisis. AFFCB has two locations, Avondale and Tonopah, with a variety of programs and services, some shared, some unique. At each location, they offer monthly emergency food boxes and access to their clothing bank. In Avondale, they also provide monthly food boxes for seniors and infants, they have a shower on site for bathing, and they offer hygiene products and daily lunches for
individuals.

Each year, AFFCB partners with other local agencies and churches to collect and distribute school supplies (Backpacks & More) in July, Thanksgiving meals in November, and Christmas food and gifts (Toys & More) in December. All their programs and services are only contingent on need and residency. Individuals seeking assistance at the Avondale or Tonopah location must have proof of residence in a neighboring city (Avondale, Goodyear, Buckeye, Tolleson, Cashion, or Litchfield Park – or – Tonopah, Arlington, Palo Verde, or Harquahala, respectively).

The Agua Fria Food & Clothing Bank is a community supported organization. They rely heavily on in-kind and monetary donations, as well as grants. They are also an approved AZ charitable tax credit organization. Their day to day operations are possible only through the thousands of generous hours served by volunteers.

Susan and Jake Potje with Celebration of Fine Art and Artist Kirk Randle

Nearly 30 years ago, the Celebration of Fine Art transformed the way people experience art when it debuted in downtown Scottsdale. Now a linchpin in Arizona’s art, culture and tourism scene, this 10- week-long hosts 100 of the country’s top artists and sees nearly 50,000 visitors from around the globe on average each year.

The Celebration of Fine Art takes place in north Scottsdale under the signature “big white tents” and features 40,000-square-feet of working artist studios and works of art. The juried, invitational show has come to be recognized not only for its exceptional art, but also its welcoming experience and interactive atmosphere.

The show, where art lovers and artists connect, is open daily through Sunday, March 24 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Since 2004, Susan Morrow Potje and her husband, Jake Potje have helmed the Celebration of Fine Art show and in 2014, they assumed full ownership. They always ensure a full spectrum of fine art and craft is represented, and they continue to support the Celebration of Fine Art’s culture as a place where art lovers and artists connect.

With an annual average attendance of more than 50,000 and revenue of more than $5 million, this remarkable show has grown to reach far beyond the city limits, attracting visitors from around the world and artists from throughout the country.

WHY BEST OF HEALTH?

I am a Physician Assistant who has been caring for patients for over 20 years and Family Practice (cradle to grave) is my specialty.

Following the footsteps of three generations of family practice physicians (my father, grandfather and great grandfather) this was a natural and genetic calling that I do not regret.

Given this, I have a unique perspective and it’s time to share that perspective through Ask the PA. As a health care provider, teacher, business owner, patient, and advocate for my family and friends throughout the years, it has been painfully apparent there are disconnects within the current state of health care in the US and throughout the world. It can be confusing and frankly very scary.

It is my goal though this series, Best of Health, to bring people together that are passionate about their roles in the business of health care… and yes, whether or not you want to hear that it’s a business, it is — and that’s the fact. I will introduce to you great, dedicated practitioners and people with a passion for getting the word out about their personal journeys and causes. I will provide information about navigating through a confusing system, asking the right questions and share ways for saving money and time along the way.

It’s time to create change by partnering, empowering, and focusing on the patient, their families and their providers of care. It’s time for you to take the driver’s seat rather than leave your health care solely in the hands of entities such as insurance companies and the pharmaceutical industry.

Stay tuned. Here’s to your Best of Health.

Single Cavegirl with Blogger and Photographer Moriah Sawtelle

Filled with bright photos, funny anecdotes, and fool-proof recipes, The Single Cavegirl is a Paleo cooking blog bringing you three fresh, easy recipes each week. Blogger Moriah Sawtelle focuses on creating single skillet meals from real food ingredients that won’t break the bank. Eating healthy can be expensive and challenging, but it doesn’t have to be.

The Single Cavegirl is about more than just food. For Moriah, Paleo is what helps her fight her autoimmune disease, and gives her the energy to do the things she loves. Her blog aims to show that Paleo can be completely realistic, even with a busy lifestyle, and can help improve overall health.

Moriah Sawtelle is a web designer, food photographer, and the blogger behind singlecavegirl.com. Recently, she also became the author of her first cookbook, Skillet Life. Ultimately, she just loves spending time creating things.

Moriah was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in her early teens, and has spent the decade since learning how to make gluten free and dairy free cooking fit in a busy lifestyle. More recently, she made a switch to complete Paleo cooking as a means of healing leaky gut (a common issue for individuals with autoimmune disease.) Her blog shares her recipes and shows how to live with autoimmune disease without letting it define your limits.

If she’s not cooking, designing, or taking pictures, you’ll probably find her standing in line for coffee, or hiking with her dog Hudson.
