The Community Food Pantry of Benson AZ, a Chamber Member and 501C3 is currently holding a raffle to raise funds for the Pantry.  The Pantry is a volunteer organization that is run completely by donations.  Their overhead includes building rental, trash, utilities and vehicle maintenance which is a whopping $2,651.55 month.    Not only does the Food Pantry serve upwards of 700 people every Wednesday, but we also share our food with the Benson Food Bank as well as St. Vincent DePaul.  We recognize the importance of feeding the need of our community.

The Huachucans are sponsoring this annual charity drawing.  A ten dollar donation for a ticket gives the ticket holder a chance to win a grand prize of $1000 A further 25 prizes in the amounts of $250 to $750 will also be awarded as part of a total prize pool of $8000. While 26 prizes will be awarded to ticket buyers, the true winner of the drawing will be the Community Food Pantry of Benson,  since for each $10 ticket sold, the Food Pantry, also known as Easy Street, retains $8. The remaining $2 goes to The Huachucans to fund the following year’s drawing. Point of contact for more information or raffle tickets is Najayyah Many Horses, cfpofbaz@gmail.com.
