90 adults ages 55 to 90, and 60 students ages 15 to 18 from Sahuarita and Walden Grove high schools, took part in the 2017 Mitzvah Day. The four-year average is 150 adults and 36 students.
Students collected 300-plus cans of food, and baked cookies for distribution at the Crossroads Mission in Nogales. Volunteers deep cleaned the kitchen at the food bank; cleaned furniture and washed toys at Los Ninos del Valle PreSchool; did gardening and yard cleanup at Valley Assistance Services, Continental School and at local churches; painted a classroom at Sahuarita Middle School; and made cards for the Parkinson Support Group.
