Primavera Foundation

Primavera Foundation with our community partners celebrate NeighborWorks America Week today at a community event at La Capilla Garden in South Tucson. Come by! Enjoy snacks, prizes, check out our gardens, and take a community survey. Thanks to those who have stopped by and pop in if you haven’t yet. We are there until 11.

Thank you, eegee's, for investing in our community!

We were honored to attend Eegee’s Community Giving Ceremony and receive a $25,000 donation through their coupon card campaign. This generous support will help The Primavera Foundation continue providing shelter, and critical services to individuals and families experiencing homelessness and poverty in Pima County.

We are grateful to Eegee’s and to every community member who participated in the campaign. Your support helps us continue co-creating pathways out of poverty and building a stronger, more connected community.

🌞 The hot sun is here! The temperatures are continuing to rise, and it is important to remember those who are experiencing homelessness. Primavera’s shelters and HIP drop-in center are seeking donations of water bottles, hydrating drinks and snacks, hats, and more!

Let’s get together and support our community in need during the hot season.

For more information, contact Sophia at ssmith.gatto@primavera for a complete list and on how to drop off in-kind donations.

Home is more than a place—it’s the foundation for opportunity, stability, and growth.

During NeighborWorks Week, we’re celebrating the power of community-driven change. This year’s theme, “Creating Homes, Building America,” reflects what we see every day at Primavera—community supporting unhoused neighbors, and individuals building brighter futures through safe, affordable housing.

At Primavera, we believe housing is just the beginning. Through our programs, residents don’t just find a place to live—they gain the tools, support, and confidence to create lasting change in their lives.

Stronger homes build stronger communities. And stronger communities build a stronger future for all of us.

Join us in celebrating the impact of resident-led change throughout the week. Also, please stop by our celebratory gathering at La Capilla Community Garden on June 8, from 8-11 a.m., 227 W 34th Street.

Bring a mat, bring a friend, and enjoy a peaceful sunset with us.

A few weeks ago at our Men's Shelter, Chef Victor Hightower noticed an abundance of donated sack lunches and decided to get creative rather than let anything go to waste. The sandwiches were simple bologna and cheese—but he added an extra slice and turned them into grilled cheese.

One of the participants, Dave Martinez—known as one of the most helpful, optimistic, and friendly individuals around—loved them. He mentioned they’d be even better with pickles, and that idea stuck with Chef Victor. A few days later, he shared that there was some Swiss cheese they could try next time. David liked that. And then they agreed to add bacon.

So today, Victor created "The Dave Martinez" sandwich: Swiss and American cheese, a touch of mayo, crispy bacon, and of course—pickles. Then he invited Dave to be the first to try it.

Moments like this highlight the heart behind the work we do—finding small ways to uplift and care for the people we serve, such as turning simple meals into meaningful acts of service and connection.
