Tucson Community | Sister Jose Women's Center

As a part of their community bonus pool contribution for 2024, the Tuscon store donated $20,000 to the Sister Jose Women's Center.

Sister Jose Women’s Center provides shelter, food, clothing, and other necessities for women who are unhoused. Their goal is to provide life changing support and resources to help women transition out of housing insecurity. The funds donated will be used to help with the expansion of Sister Jose’s operations, including the purchase of beds, lockers, and toiletry items.

Emily Bridson, Director of Philanthropy at the Sister Jose’s, commented, “This work is challenging, and your visit was a bright spot for us. To know our community cares about our guests and supports the work is heartwarming and makes a big difference. It allows us to do what we do every day; to serve women who are unhoused with love, compassion, and dignity. We so appreciate your kindness.” 

Special thanks to the Tucson Team for sending over this wonderful story and pictures to share with the Stotz Community!

Casa Grande Community | HOHP: Pinal County Veteran Center

Casa Grande Community | HOHP: Pinal County Veteran Center

HOHP: Pinal County Veteran Center began a small group in 2011 that consisted of Veterans and community organizations that recognized the need to work on building a network of support for Veterans and Military Families in Pinal County.

In 2019, Horizon Behavioral Health donated a building to HOHP to bring the dream alive of having a Veterans transition center that would help the homeless Veterans and those who are in various transitional periods of their lives.

The Center is run primarily through donations and grants specific to this type of facility.

It was great that we have two Veterans on the Stotz team who were able to help present the check. Devin Otterbine and Jaime Garcia. Also pictured: Laryssa Chase, EZ Felix, and Omar Porras. The donation will go a long way to help with needed repairs to their transition facility.

When Stotz Equipment learned about the All-Abilities section in the Day Ranch Park, they wanted to help.

On April 28, three representatives from Stotz Equipment brought a donation for the park to City Hall. Mayor Hall, along with other City staff, accepted the $10,000 check. Thank you Stotz Equipment! The City of Bluffdale is humbled by your generosity and excited to partner with you to bring these amenities to Bluffdale

The City Council voted to award construction of the Day Ranch Park in the meeting on May 25. That means construction can begin. Watch our social media accounts for information about when we will break ground for construction. Playground equipment for the All-Abillities section has been ordered.

Dear Kenny,

On behalf of DeeCilla Comfort Center, please accept my most sincere appreciation for your overwhelming generosity. You and your team have been such a blessing to us as we work to change the lives of women and children transitioning from homelessness and abuse to independence and freedom.

Words cannot truly express our level of gratitude for supplying the playset and covering irrigation cost to create a fun and safe environment for the children, in our program, to enjoy. The children were so excited, as they watched the volunteers arrive and begin building the set. Though I personally expressed my thanks to Randy, Jodi, and Dylan I wanted to let you know how impressed I was with them. I could not believe how this family stayed and worked for twelve hours putting the playset together. Not to mention, they were the most patient and kind-hearted individuals as they took time to interact with the children who were present. They shared tools, teaching the children how to safely help which was a major boost for their confidence and self-esteem. The entire day was like Christmas for the children. They went to bed that evening with great anticipation of getting up early and going out to try out the set the next day. And that they did! They have been outside every single day.

It has not taken long before the imaginations have taken over! I went to conduct a visit, peeked outside, and noticed the boys had carried a folding chair to the top of the fort, parked it in front of the wheel and from what I learned have been playing, “king of the hill.” It is absolutely hilarious and such a joy to see. Thank you for helping the children have a space to “be children.” At such an early age they have already experienced so much, it is great to see them “just be kids” and have fun.

Sometimes, we reach out to help others thinking we can help just a little never realizing the i11pact we are really making in the lives of others. You have made a tremendous difference in the lives of our residents. Without your help, we would not have been able to provide this for our families.

Thank you again for being a vital part of our community and helping us to create change where change is needed.

Sincerely,

Shawanda R. Randolph, MBA, MAT | Founder & President
