A Day That Changed Lives

On November 23rd, 2024, the Darash Ahava Foundation hosted the Fall Festival at Granada Park—a FREE community celebration that brought together 345 people from across Phoenix.

We didn't just throw a party. We created a movement.

255 families received frozen Thanksgiving turkeys, ensuring that 1,620 people could share a meal with their loved ones. Children created art, families laughed together, and our community proved that love in action changes everything.

But events like this don't happen by accident. They happen because of sponsors who believe in the power of community.

"255 families, 1,620 meals, one incredible day."
