    2013 Make A Difference Day Award Honorees
    Meet this year's volunteer honorees!

    The Sundial Men’s Club, Sun City, Ariz.Retirement isn’t all about poker, bingo and lots of time to drink coffee and read the newspaper. Just ask the fun-loving, big-hearted members of the Sundial Men’s Club in Sun City, Ariz.

    For Make A Difference Day, the men, most of them in their 70s and 80s, aimed to hold the largest one-day food drive ever in a retirement community. As far as they know, they did, collecting 11.5 tons of non-perishables — from 9,000 donors — for Valley View Community Food Bank. That’s enough food to feed 657 families for a week.

    “A lot of people here live Social Security check to Social Security check,” says president Larry Carr, 73. “They depend on the food bank.”

    Details of the collection were provided to the media weeks before Make A Difference Day, and club members spread 6,000 pamphlets around the Phoenix suburb to notify residents.

    Working four-hour shifts, volunteers manned collection bins at seven recreation centers and eight golf courses. Donations started pouring in at 6 a.m. Meanwhile, Sundial men on golf carts went door to door collecting from residents in their 90s and 100s who couldn't get out. Plus, more than $3,000 in cash was collected, including $300 at a pool tournament.

    The next morning, a truck hauled 23,000 pounds of food to Valley View Community Bank. “I was blown away,” says director Jesse Ramirez. “I’ve been in food banks 27 years and never saw an effort that mighty.”

    $10,000 award from Newman’s Own goes to Valley View Community Food Bank.
