Luke and I love running on the trail in the morning before work.  It is the best feeling to get up before the sun and start the day with a run.  We are training for the Austin half marathon and can’t wait for the weather to cool down. New workout clothes always motivate me, so we decided to stock up on a few quality pieces for Fall. We have both been long time fans of The North Face and they are having an amazing flash sale on HauteLook right now.  Layers are key when running outside, so we both chose vests, light sweaters and jackets. Luke was excited to see that his all time favorite jacket (The Denali) was on sale in a color he didn’t already have. (He wears these all the time for Fall/Winter and loves the cozy material and all of the pockets.)  He also needed a good backpack and has already been using this grey one nonstop since it came in the mail last week. I love the look and feel of a vest, so I chose this one and also picked out this cozy black jacket to layer up in!

With an average greater than 50% of Yavapai County students depending on National School Lunch Program during the school day for breakfast and lunch, it is especially important that we provide options for these same kids over the weekend when school meals are not available. In 2009, YFC partnered with local inner-faith organizations and emergency food providers to raise funds, gather volunteers, pack and deliver food to area schools.  Over the years, YFC has expanded the program to reach hungry kids in Sedona, Village of Oak Creek, Cornville, Beaver Creek, and Mayer Arizona.  In August of 2016, the program will expand even further to serve kids in Clarkdale, Cottonwood, Camp Verde Prescott and Black Canyon City. Kids Weekend Food Pack program is available to qualifying students at partnering schools and child care programs throughout Yavapai County.  For more information on how your student or school can participate in one of YFC Food For Student programs, please contact us.
