TUCSON, Ariz. — It’s Giving Tuesday and we’re highlighting Flowers and Bullets. This nonprofit provides a farm for the community to enjoy and is celebrating 10 years of their work, but they need help to be able to keep going.

“To me Barrio Centro represents a lot of resilience. You know, the way that it was brought about. Coming from underserved communities we’re faced with a variety of different challenges. You come from single-parent households, substance abuse, poverty. And there’s all of these issues. But here at the farm we’re able to address some of those things.

“This is a place where people can reconnect and kind of work to be able to identify and find themselves within the work that they do,” said Chavez.
