 Team Care-Inc  

"Run with purpose"  The mission of CARE INC is to serve alongside public servants, community leaders, faith leaders and individuals in all areas of society - facilitating relationships and effecting positive change. TEAM CARE INC helps fulfill this mission.  A little history…  years ago CARE INC was invited by Hugh Hallman, Mayor of the City of Tempe, to join the "Mayor's Run" as part of a fund-raising and awareness initiative started in Tempe. The idea is simple - recruit runners to raise funds for your organization and participate in the PF Chang's half or full marathon. A certain percentage of raised funds are matched by businesses that help to sponsor the Mayor and the runners, plus the charities raise additional funds with extremely low overhead.  Great idea, right!  But wait, there is more…

For Our City - Tempe Launches "100 Hours in 2011"

 On January 20th, over 100 leaders of Faith, Nonprofit, Business and Government gathered to launch a new initiative of For Our City called "100 hours in 2011." 

 "We are asking you to challenge your church, mosque, synagogue or business to volunteer 100 hours of service in 2011," Mayor Hugh Hallman reported.

He went on to say, "I don’t need to tell you times are tough. You hear it in the prayers of your congregations; you see it in the pleas, growing louder, for housing assistance, jobs and food donations.  It is our calling as leaders to help…a little over 2 hours a week is all we are asking.”  These 100 hours of service are in preparation for celebrating Arizona’s Centennial in 2012.

 This is accomplished through ongoing volunteer activities such as delivering meals to the elderly, feeding the homeless, mentoring students and other essential services.  Along with furnishing volunteers to Tempe organizations, For Our City will also hold citywide service events for individuals who want to volunteer one day a month with park and neighborhood cleanup, planting community gardens, and food and water collection and distribution.  

 The hours are tracked within each organization and tallied by the organization or individual volunteer filling out a “Service Report” form at www.forourcity.org. 

 There were presentations from various faith, municipal and nonprofit partnerships that showed how through strategic collaboration, communities can tackle such issues as home foreclosures, service to the poor, the homeless, the elderly and the disabled, and emergency preparedness.

 “Separately we can…Together we will!”
