SAFFORD — Southeastern Arizona Community Unique Services announced a series of food-based fund-raisers to kick off the fall season at the Graham County Senior Center.
The first is a barbecued burger or brat sale Tuesday, Sept. 7, from 11 a.m. to noon. Cost is $3 for Senior Center members and $5 for non-members. On Wednesday, Sept. 8, from 8-9 a.m., the Senior Center will host a pancake breakfast fund-raiser. Cost is $2 for members and $4 for non-members.
“You haven’t had a pancake until you’ve had John (Smallwood’s) pancakes. They are huge and loaded with strawberries and whipped topping, and they are wonderful,” said Sharon Valenica, Senior Center manager.
The final fund-raiser of the month will take place Tuesday, Sept. 14, when Smallwood will make his “quarter-pound” tacos for $1 each from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. or while supplies last.
The nonprofit SEACUS provides Meals on Wheels services Monday through Friday for homebound seniors 60 and older in Graham and Greenlee counties, as well as congregate meals at the Senior Centers in Safford and Clifton.
It also offers attendant care services, which includes meal preparation, personal care assistance, shopping and laundry services, light housekeeping, and respite for caregivers.
