Arizona Helping Hands Partnership

Thanks to everyone who brought items to Sunday in the Park to donate to the Arizona Helping Hands Birthday in a Bag program. Also, thanks to the Grayhawk book clubs for donating books at their annual holiday party.

Arizona Helping Hands is currently trying to collect 30,000 toys for the holidays in their 21st annual toy drive, and you can help! Visit their Amazon wish list or download a list of items here. Toys can be dropped off at the GCA Office during regular business hours (Monday-Friday from 8 a.m.-5 p.m.) through December 20.

Arizona Helping Hands is the largest provider of essential needs for children in foster care in the state. Your support brings smiles to the faces of children in foster care and the foster families that care for them.

Construction Debris

Construction debris has been dumped just south of Grayhawk Dr. in open space along the greenbelt multiple times over the past month. This costs the Association staff and vendors both time and money to clean up. If you are having work done at your property, please make sure that your contractors know they must use dumpsters for trash and not Grayhawk common area.
