We're hoping you can help us raise funds for the local Food Pantry, providing much-needed support to National Park Service and South Rim staff, families, and community members.
From https://grandcanyonfoodpantry.org/about/: The Grand Canyon Village is somewhat unique. Comprising about 3,200 people in summer and 2,500 January through March, it is located within the Grand Canyon National Park. It has a school district, bank, grocery store, churches, and clinic along with the hotels, restaurants, and amenities to serve visitors. All the community members live in rental properties, trailers, RV’s or dormitories: the level of your job determines the size of your rental or the space where you can hook up your RV.
The census bureau estimates the poverty rate in the Village at 12.4%, but private firms place that number closer to 28%. About half of the school population is eligible for free or reduced price lunches. The village is at least 70 miles from city services like supermarkets and department stores: one in four residents do not have an automobile.
