Dear %contactInformalName%,

Our 20th Annual VICINITY fundraiser was a vibrant and inspiring night of giving that truly showcased the strength of our community. More than 260 guests came together to connect, celebrate, and enjoy incredible food and drinks—all while supporting TCAA’s important work.

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters and the dedication of nearly 50 volunteers, we raised over $120,000 that will help us continue to meet the needs of neighbors who rely on us every day.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to our generous food and beverage partners. Their thoughtful contributions were an essential part of VICINITY’s success. We couldn’t have done it without them. Thank you Avasa, Berry Divine, Cartel Roasting Co., Creations by Sergio, Crepe Bar, Crescent Crown Distributing, The Dhaba, Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream, Hummus Xpress, North Italia, Soaring Wines, The Shop Beer and Voodoo Doughnut. 

We are also very grateful to our event sponsors. Their investment and support made it possible to bring this event to life and expand our impact in meaningful ways. Thank you SRP, Edward Jones, Chasse, Arizona Central Credit Union, Gammage and Burnham, Crexendo, Kyocera and Tempe Tourism.

Thank you to all of you who celebrated with us! We’re already looking forward to VICINITY 2027. 

At 65, one of our neighbors faced a sudden utility crisis with no family to turn to.

With support from our Neighbors Helping Neighbors program and his case worker, he received the guidance and resources he needed to stay safely housed.

As the weather warms, many of our volunteers leave for the summer. We have great needs in the following areas:

Meals on Wheels
Right now, seniors in our community are waiting for more than a meal, they’re waiting for connection. Meals on Wheels volunteers deliver both. Your visit to a senior's home can ensure they receive the food and human interaction they rely on to stay healthy and independent. Sign up today and be the reason someone feels seen.

Food Pantry
Families are turning to our Food Pantry every day, and we need extra hands to keep up. Volunteers help sort, pack, and distribute food to neighbors facing food insecurity. It’s fast-paced, hands-on, and deeply rewarding. Step in and help ensure no one in our community goes without.

Neighbors Helping Neighbors
A little help can go a long way, and the need continues to grow. Neighbors Helping Neighbors volunteers step in with simple acts like errands, dog walking, or check-ins that help seniors safely remain in their homes. Your time can ease someone’s day in a meaningful, lasting way.
