Sedona News – The University Women of Sedona (UWoS) will host their next informational meeting on Monday, January 6 at 9:30 a.m. when Kate Morrill, interim Executive Director and Grants Manager, will present with an update about Manzanita Outreach.
Manzanita Outreach is a Verde Valley-based 501(c)(3), Arizona Non-Profit and the largest food assistance provider in Yavapai county. Its’ goal is to make the county the first food-secure county in America.
“There is plenty of food, but getting it to the people who need it most takes a community effort”, says Morrill. She will be reviewing Manzanita Outreach’s many programs, including their primary Community Food Sharing Program, along with the various forms of mobile food distribution they participate in, like their Tewa Holiday Project, the Crossing Worlds Hopi Project, MO Packs for Kids, and their involvement in crisis planning and crisis response activities.
Morrill has been in business management and business transformation for years, in the past managing operations for high-risk accounts, applying strategic insights and advanced problem-solving. She joined Manzanita Outreach in 2023.
This meeting is open to women in the Verde Valley who are interested in this topic and the opportunity to network with other women who are involved in elevating women through education. Guests are invited to attend this or a future meeting. University Women of Sedona’s mission is to give scholarships to support women in furthering their educational opportunities to an accredited local college or university. Refreshments will be served.
The Sedona chapter meets on the first Monday of every month at 9:30 a.m. at the Christ Lutheran Church of Sedona at 25 Chapel Road. For more information, contact universitywmnsedona@gmail.com.
