Good Samaritans fill service gaps amid budget cuts
Excerpts from Alia Beard Rau - Nov. 1, 2009   The Arizona Republic


Faced with another year of declining revenue, Arizona municipalities are increasingly relying on the charity of others to meet the needs of residents.  Tempe resident and Care Inc. non-profit founder Jon McHatton has organized volunteers in Tempe, Chandler and Page through his For Our City program.  "Service is a good bridge between the faith community and municipal leaders because it doesn't deal with any issues of church and state," McHatton said. "It just deals with doing what's best for people."  He said the trend of municipal volunteerism is gaining momentum, and each city is using it to serve its greatest needs.
