  • Community Foundation of Southern Arizona: $4,600 in fuel cards were donated to TSA employees at Tucson International Airport. The employees were affected by the federal shutdown, which despite being called off, has resulted in pay delays. The fuel cards were provided through the Community Foundation of Southern Arizona via the Federal Employee Relief Fund. Tucson City Councilman Paul Cunningham secured funding through donations matched by HSL Properties, Finley Distributing, Nova Home Loans, Crest Insurance and O’Reilly Chevrolet.
  • Wells Fargo: Wells Fargo Holiday Food Bank program provided 12,100 meals to Arizonans in need this season. Customers, community partners and Wells Fargo team members across Arizona joined forces during the holiday season to fight against hunger by contributing to the food bank program that transformed all retail banking branches to food collection sites.
