- What we do
PRIDES volunteer an hour and a half on Saturday mornings. We are proud to maintain 26 miles of common areas by, trimming shrubs and trees, planting, watering, and weeding. In addition, we have irrigation monitors who maintain 26 miles of pipeline needed for watering trees and bushes. A great deal of our work is physical, but we also have a need for volunteers to help with record keeping, communicating with our members and the public, computer input, purchasing equipment and supplies, maintaining our equipment, and helping serve coffee, rolls, and donuts at our monthly meetings.
Sun City West PRIDES was organized because to maintain our beautiful city to the high standards that we all expect, we would need to help out. In 1982 PRIDES got organized, volunteers stepped up, and our community prospered. In 2003, the SCW Foundation provided space for PRIDES in its current location alongside Helping Hands. Currently PRIDES is proud to have over 300 members and still going strong.
- Changes I’d like to see in this area
We have 300 volunteers but are always looking for more. You’ll feel great helping keep our community clean and beautiful! Everyone is welcome in PRIDES. There are no dues, equipment is provided and we never take attendance.
