Fast for one or two meals (if you are able) anytime during the week of the Community Fast.
Take the money you would have spent on those meals (or more) and donate that amount online, at Show Low City Hall, or at the Show Low branch of the National Bank of Arizona, Chase, or Arizona Central Credit Union.
100% of monies donated are passed on to help local families in need over the holidays.
The Show Low Community Fast is a 501(c)(3) organization, so all donations are tax deductible.
At the conclusion of the Community Fast, the Community Fast Committee meets and identifies local organizations who are in a position to help people in need in our community. Donations are distributed by the Committee in varying amounts to each organization, who accept the donations under the following stipulations:
1) No monies can be spent to cover the organization's administrative costs. Instead 100% of the donations must be passed on to families for things such as food, utilities, rent, clothing, modest gifts, etc.
2) Any purchases made with the donations (i.e. for clothing, food, gift cards, etc.) must be purchased locally.
3) Give an accounting of how donations were distributed, as well as a report back on any noteworthy experience that donators would appreciate being made aware of.
Traditionally, following the Community Fast, a Community Celebration is held where various churches, school groups and other organizations provide musical numbers between inspiring accounts of how donations have been used to benefit those in our community.
Members of the Community Fast Committee, representatives from organizations that received donations previously, and local government leaders have provided short messages.
As many as 500 people have attended the Community Fast Celebration in any given year. In 2024, the Community Fast Celebration will be held on Sunday, November 24th at 5:00 p.m. in the Show Low School District Auditorium. Admission is free.
