Since of Urgency:

Here in Saint John's Arizona, there is a sense of urgency, since water isn't as abundant as in other states, such as Texas. Therefore, it is our sole duty to ultimately ensure that every drop of water becomes the catalyst for sustainable development, improved health, and the preservation of rural ways of life. 

Many children, seniors, and homeless individuals go without a good source of meals every day. As a leader we stand for the people and the community, our goal is to receive enough funding to purchase food, fresh fruits, dairy, vegetables, grains & proteins to ensure that they do not go without eating.
