C.A.M.P. brings a community produce experience to the Living Word Bible Church Mesa Campus, offering fresh, rescued fruits and vegetables with no income or residency requirements. A $15 donation lets supporters shop a market-style produce line or reserve a PrePacks2Go prepackaged produce box for $15 plus a $1 transaction fee. PrePacks2Go pickups take place in the church parking lot, and someone will place the box directly into your vehicle. Cash-N-Carry produce boxes are also available on a first come, first served basis. Powered entirely by volunteers, the program applies each $15 donation to program and transportation costs so more market locations can be offered. These efforts help supplement meals at an affordable cost while reducing food waste, supporting thousands of meals each month.

An afternoon of board games and a spirited dip showdown awaits. Held in a secure office within the Old Town Galleria, this recurring gathering pairs tables of easy-to-learn titles, deeper strategy and bluffing challenges, and lively party games with a judged dip competition. Attendees bring a dip to share along with a favorite dipping vessel. Dips are scored, and every three months a Quarterly Best Dipper earns bragging rights and a prize. Because building access is controlled, registration at least three days in advance is required so the right number of game tables can be set and entry can be arranged. Play begins promptly, and entry is limited to a short window near the start... picture an escape room in reverse, which helps avoid leaving anyone waiting in the hallway. Bring a dip, bring your game face, and enjoy a playful blend of tasting and tabletop fun.
