SUPPLYING FLAGS TO THE ESTRELLA COMMUNITY

One of the members on our Estrella Mountain Residents Facebook page, Mario Valencia, dedicates himself to making sure the flags on Estrella's foothills are in good shape and well cared for.

We wanted to help him. Our charity donors make it possible for us to donate 5 American flags to Mario.

THANK YOU, MARIO, for all you do in our community!!! Your work is greatly appreciated and never forgotten.

God bless America. #EstrellaResidentsGive

ESTRELLA MOUNTAIN RESIDENTS COORDINATE FOOD DONATIONS FOR GOODYEAR POLICE DEPARTMENT - JULY 19, 2016
$714.56 AND DONATIONS OF FOOD

Resident Deborah Mastros coordinated a community-wide effort to show the Goodyear Police our appreciation for what they do to protect residents.

Estrella Mountain Residents supports local charities using 100% of the profits we raise through advertising on our website. 

The best way to keep a community calendar, community news, and our feature section highlighted is to have a website.  Why? 

When we solely put the information on our Facebook page, the information tends to get buried and difficult to find. 

With a website, residents can see upcoming events and refer back to the features and other important reminders at any time. 

The website obviously comes at a nominal cost which Jen pays for and puts her personal time into creating.

To offset that, we have chosen to invite local businesses and residents to sponsor their favorite pages on our site.

MAY 2016

Estrella Mountain Residents donated $300 to the Estrella Foothills High School Football Booster Club.

Watch for our banner at fall football games and follow our Twitter page for trivia questions during half time!

EASTER 2016

On Easter Sunday, a house fire destroyed an Estrella home. The community came out in full force to support the Harman Family with donations, funds, and kind gestures.

A GoFundMe page Estrella Mountain Residents established raised more than $17,000 and an account set up at our local Chase Bank brought in more than $1,600.

THANK YOU, ESTRELLA!

7TH CHARITY DONATION GOES TO...

Julie Sisk for Heartbeat of Estrella at Estrella Mountain Church
I started the Operation Christmas Child Packing Party because I was blessed to see little children in Namibia open their shoe boxes and it was so touching!  They were lit up like Christmas trees over toothbrushes, toys and candy, things our children here don't appreciate.  And what a simple project to get our community involved of all ages!  Businesses can donate items, people can make things, and we can shop the sales all year long and the second year we doubled the amount of boxes that we put together!  It is so rewarding to see the kids packing for kids around the world and knowing that we are really going to change that child's life.
