Bocce and Food Drive Kick Off

On Saturday, February 1, 2025, at 10:30 AM, come out to play bocce at the Sunset Kiwanis Courts, and to support a great cause! We will be at the Sunset Kiwanis courts at 16957 E Kiwanis Dr, Fountain Hills, AZ 85268, and we will be collecting non-perishable (non-refrigerated, example cans, boxed foods) foods to bring to Euro Pizza Cafe(12645 N. Saguaro Blvd #11, Fountain Hills, AZ. 85268) afterward for lunch (please see the list of most needed food items, but feel free to bring any non-perishable foods). You do not have to bring non-perishable foods if you do not have any, but any non-perishable foods that people can bring are deeply appreciated. We will begin bocce promptly at 10:30 AM, play some games, and then head to Euro before noon (Approximately 11:50 AM). RSVPs are required for both, and please RSVP no later than Thurs January 30.  Please note on the RSVP under the comment section of your RSVP if you will be attending either: 1. Bocce 2. Euro or 3. Both. Please RSVP by clicking on the link and by entering which of the above you’ll be attending. 

Euro we will be limited to 20 people again. The 4th Annual Fountain Hills Food Drive for residents starts on Jan. 31 and ends on Feb 28. We thank EuroPizza Cafe for kicking off the drive with the after-bocce food drop-off by members of the Fountain Hills Italian Interest Group! Also, thank you to the other 3 businesses participating in the event, here are the other locations where you can drop off your non-perishable food items(Jan 31-Feb 28): The Pellegrini Group MCO Realty, Iron Roots, and The Inspiration Academy! Without all 4 businesses, this drive would not be possible to help the Extended Hands Food Bank fill its food walls! Thank you again to all parties involved and to Sunset Kiwanis for allowing us to reserve and use their bocce courts! Below is a list of foods most needed by the Extended Hands Food Bank! Let’s all go through our pantries and see how many blue barrels we can fill this year for this food drive to help those in need! Grazie E Tutti!
