When Seeds of Hope opened the Mondo Anaya Community Center (MACC) in Albert Cruz Park in 2012, our vision was to develop a stronger sense of community in that west side neighborhood. For the previous 10 years, our programs operated out of a small 1,100 square-foot home on Melrose Street. During that season, 25 kids from Saguaro Elementary walked to our location for our after-school program every day, and about 14 grandparents raising grandchildren and their families met monthly to work together on the challenges of raising children once again. Our programs couldn’t grow any larger simply because there was no room to grow!

When we opened the MACC doors in November, the after-school program swelled to 75 kids almost overnight! Suddenly we had room to expand not just our current programming, but also add new opportunities for many community partners to bring their resources to our neighborhood.

In addition to Seeds of Hope programming, these organizations have used the MACC to provide or host services in 2017:

  • Monthly wellness clinic led by Dr. Bessie Burk, Rocio Arveson and a host of volunteers from Sun Life Family Health.
  • The Consulado de Mexico en Tucson brought a team four times to help individuals file legal documentation from Mexico.
  • The Florence Project provides pro-bono legal help for children of incarcerated parents.
  • United Way provides child-care resources to those who are daycare providers.
  • Providence Reformed Baptist Church hosts its Sunday services here.
  • Casa Grande Elementary School District summer feeding program.
  • University of Arizona Cooperative Extension nutrition classes.
  • Youth Haven Kid’s Klub program is hosted here.
  • Weekly men’s Bible study.

Our location in the park has become a neighborhood treasure. As we look to the next 25 years, we will be continue our partnerships with churches, agencies and volunteers.

Update from Pinal County about West Nile Virus.First West Nile Virus (WNV) positive mosquitoes detected in Pinal County this Monsoon Season.This week, during routine seasonal mosquito surveillance, the Pinal County Public Health Services District (PCPHSD) detected West Nile Virus (WNV) positive mosquitoes in the county. It is especially important for everyone to be vigilant in preventing mosquito breeding and mosquito bites now that we have had some significant monsoon rains. Click to read more: ow.ly/vNOP50KiiF3Help Prevent West Nile Virus:• If you have a swimming pool, keep it operational. If you must keep it out of use, make sure you remove the standing water, keep it chlorinated, or run the filter daily.• Eliminate standing water where mosquitoes can lay their eggs. Check for items outside the home that collect water, such as cans, bottles, jars, buckets, old tires, drums and other containers and get rid of them. Change water in flower vases, bird baths, planters, troughs, and animal watering pans at least twice a week.• Repair leaky pipes and outside faucets, and move air conditioner drain hoses frequently to prevent standing water.• Even a short time being outdoors can be long enough to get a mosquito bite. Take extra care to use insect repellent and protective clothing. When outdoors, use an EPA-registered and CDC approved insect repellent.• Keep mosquitoes outside by having well-fitting screens on both windows and doors. ... See MoreSee Less
