The Southern Arizona Home Builders Association's (SAHBA) Summer Food Drive has successfully reached its $20,000 cash goal from its members. The collection of public donations will end at the SAHBA Fall Home & Garden Show, Oct. 18-20, at the Tucson Convention Center. Michael Bolchalk Marketing assisted with the project's implementation and fund-raising among the organization's membership.

In April, SAHBA began its 7-month-long campaign for the Community Food Bank with Garrett’s Supermarkets. The long summer period was picked because that is when donations drop off dramatically, said Barbara Tarrish of A.F. Sterling Homes, who served as SAHBA food drive coordinator.

CFB Executive Director Punch Woods said this is the longest, continuous campaign they have ever tried. Only an organization like SAHBA could coordinate such a huge project and do it effectively, he said.

At the SAHBA Home Show, Cans & Coins will be collected to help end hunger in Pima County.
