In a heartwarming display of community spirit and generosity, Fountain Hills businesses collected, wrapped and delivered a total of 110 hygiene baskets for A New Leaf Women’s Shelter in Mesa.

Organizers of the event, Ellen Mackay of Aesthetic Elegance and Wellness and Christina Guthrie of P39 Pure Growth CBD thanked the local businesses and community members who participated to make the second annual basket party a success.

The event saw support from a list of sponsors including Sipps Eatery; Phil’s Filling Station; Treats of Sweden; Good Living Greens; TDC Financial Services; The M.

What started as a collaborative effort has evolved into a community-wide movement with more Fountain Hills businesses joining the cause daily. The unity and camaraderie displayed throughout the event showcase the remarkable strength of Fountain Hills as a close-knit community, a press release read.

“We are feeling so very blessed from the outpouring of support from everyone,” the release said. “We made 110 baskets this year.”

The event not only fulfilled its primary purpose of supporting A New Leaf Woman’s Shelter but also served as a testament to the power of unity within Fountain Hills, the release continued.
