    Sedona, AZ — The Two Fer Tuesday “Blessing Group” is sponsoring a new Two Fer Tuesday on Tuesday, September 20, to help both humans AND pets (a true Two Fer!) that are in desperate need of food.

    Compassionate Valley residents are asked to help celebrate the one-year anniversary of the “Fill the Need”Food Bank in the Village of Oak Creek with donations of food and pet food to help the underserved communities of the VOC, Rimrock, Cornville, Camp Verde and Lake Montezuma. 

    Food costs are skyrocketing. Grocery costs are up 13.1% (largest increase since 1979): eggs up 38%, flour up 22.7%, milk up 15.6%, ground beef up 9.7%, bacon up 9.2%, fruits and veggies up 9.3%.

    Police reports show people are reduced to stealing meat, cheese, spices, sausages, and over the counter meds from grocery stores.

    The Two -Fer Tuesday philanthropic group is asking the community to help the hungry people and pets of the Verde Valley.

    Three donation stations will be open on September 20: 

    (1.) The front sidewalk of the Sedona United Methodist Church, 110 Indian Cliffs Road, Sedona 86336 

    (2.) The front sidewalk of Cafe Jose, 2370 AZ 89 A, Suite 1, Sedona, 86336 

    Sedona Gift Shop

    (3.) Cleaner Quicker Car Wash and Detailing, 1515 West State Road 89-A, Sedona, 86336. 

    Supplies needed:

    Instant oatmeal (cylinder containers only, please), small bottles of spices (all kinds), nuts (salted and unsalted), juices in six pack containers, canned chicken, canned tuna, canned sardines, soups (but not creamy), crackers, mustard, salad dressings (Ranch and Thousand Island), mayo, cooking oils, pickles, black olives, relish, catsup, microwave popcorn for kids, Raisin Bran, healthy children’s cereals, packages of cookies, snacks like Goldfish, Kind Bars, shelf-stable milk like Almond, peanut butter and jelly, hygiene items like soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, pet food for cats and dogs.

    Please reach into your hearts and help us feed the hungry and disadvantaged during these hard times where entire families are going hungry, that not only can feed themselves but not even their pets as well.

    God bless you all.

    We Have Been Thoroughly Trained!
    By Amaya Gayle Gregory

    Throughout the years, we have been trained. Part of the training is to see others as trained, but not ourselves. Even though we are the others that others are trained to see as trained, we tend to miss that little nuance. The training says we must know what’s right and speak out when we see something that runs contrary to our understanding of rightness. We don’t stop to realize that what we see as right isn’t exactly right or it would be the right version that everyone in their right mind knew as right. There are billions of versions of right but ours is the only real right one. Seems fishy, doesn’t it? We spend our days, our lives, catching others — the wrong ones — doing and saying things in support of their versions of right and our training has us jumping on the critical bandwagon lest we be painted in support of the wrong right. What in this crazy world moves us with such amazing force to crave rightness, to need to be seen as right? Read more→
