Nothing says the holiday spirit like providing goodwill to all! \ud83c\udf81 \ud83c\udf31 \n\nFor our annual holiday party, the @DowntownPhoenix and Phoenix Community Alliance (PCA) Teams spent a couple of hours lightening the load volunteering at The Society of St. Vincent de Paul's (@svdpaz) Downtown Phoenix campus. Half of the group prepared meals in the dining hall, while the other tended to the massive urban garden that produces ingredients for these meals. \ud83c\udf45 \n\nMany of the vegetables grown are used in the kitchen, and families can claim any excess food. This is a small fraction of the services provided, including on-site transitional housing and a workforce development program.\n\nWhat a demonstration of PCA's advocacy in action!\n\nThank you to our Members, @pedalhausbrewery, for satisfying our appetites afterward, and Copper Star Transportation, for promptly shuttling us from A to B.

Our crew spent the day yesterday spreading some holiday cheer together! \u2744\ufe0f\u2728\n\nWe started the day visiting our friends at @svdpaz to help out in the kitchen and urban garden, then made our way to @pedalhausbrewery to share a delicious lunch and lots of laughs!\n\nCheers to celebrating the spirit of service, teamwork, and gratitude that makes this team so extraordinary. Happy holidays \ud83e\udd0d
