Giving back in Southern Arizona

• Cenpatico Integrated Care: Cenpatico awarded a $6,000 grant to the Diaper Bank of Southern Arizona to fund the transportation of hundreds of thousands of diapers donated by Huggies, to be distributed to families in need.
• Home Instead Senior Care: The company has partnered with Tucson businesses to support its annual “Be a Santa to a Senior” program.

Holiday shoppers are invited to stop by one of five participating locations where “Be a Santa to a Senior” trees will be on display from Nov. 13 to Dec. 13. The trees will be decorated with paper ornaments featuring seniors’ first names and their gift wish lists. After purchasing a gift, the shopper will return it with the ornament attached to be wrapped and delivered by community volunteers to local seniors.

Participating businesses include K-Mart, 7055 E. Broadway.; HISC Office, 3208 N. Tucson Blvd.; Rocco’s Little Chicago Pizzeria, 2707 E. Broadway; Deco Art for Living, 2612 E. Broadway; and Curves, 10355 N. La Canada Drive. For more information, visit BeaSantaToaSenior.com
