(Phoenix -June 13, 2011)— Conscious Culinary, llc. of Scottsdale, AZ has announced their plan for their 1st annual Baking to the Rescue, a natural baking fundraising event to benefit the Phoenix Rescue Mission and their new Changing Lives Center for women and children in crises. Natural Partners, Inc. at 8445 East Hartford Drive Scottsdale, AZ 85255 will be hosting the event Friday July 15th, 2011 from 5:00-8:00pm and the public is invited to this unique event.
Guests will be offered natural sweets including organic, gluten-free, sugar-free, vegan, raw, and dairy-free varieties to snack on as well as beverages, appetizers, and samples. Great food, wonderful live music and the opportunity to watch chef demonstrations are sure to leave guests full and happy while they kick off their weekend for a great cause! Admission includes a donation of un-opened bottled water, clothing and school supplies for women and children, non-perishable pantry goods or a cash donation.
Of the more than 10,000 people living on the streets in our community, almost one-half of those in need are women, children and families. Food donations at Phoenix Rescue Mission drop by 37 percent during the summer, and in Arizona alone, nearly one in six children will go to bed hungry according to the USDA 2009 hunger survey.
Director of Public Relations for Phoenix Rescue Mission, Nicole Pena commented, “Phoenix Rescue Mission faces some serious obstacles during the summer. Kids are out of school without lunches and food donations are down. Some of the items we need this summer are beverages, beverage mixes, bottled water, spices (any type) but especially salt, pepper and garlic, canned vegetables, peanut butter, jelly, bread, backpacks stuffed with school supplies (wide ruled paper, folders, wide ruled notebooks, pens, pencils, crayons, rulers, and erasers), new children’s shoes, jeans (men’s , women’s and children’s), underwear and socks (men’s, women’s and children’s) sunscreen and toiletries of any kind.”
Members of the community are welcome to donate by joining us for the Baking to the Rescue event or by bringing goods to the Phoenix Rescue Mission warehouse.
