Desert Doves

Desert Doves is a non-profit organization of Returned Peace Corps Volunteers. We are based in Tucson, AZ though our membership is open to those located throughout southern Arizona. The Desert Doves are committed to supporting community development projects in both Arizona and abroad. Since 2011, the Desert Doves have donated more than $42,599 in support of Peace Corps Partnership Projects around the world. Project funds are raised through a combination of membership dues, donated service hours, and financial donations.

Desert Doves Cookbook

The Doves Vice President Susie Q came up with a great idea to recoup the fundraising money we missed when the Spring Street Fair was canceled! We are going to create a Desert Doves Cookbook with recipes that represent our Peace Corps services from around the world! We will print and sell the cookbook and use the proceeds

You will all have the opportunity to contribute recipes, but right now we are looking for a few volunteers to help on the cookbook organizing committee. You will help to gather, organize and display the recipes in the cookbook. If you are interested in being on the organizing committee, please reach out to Susie at sqashu@email.arizona.edu.
