Great way to support those asking for help and knowing where your money will be going. Big thanks to organizations such as Native Americans for Community Action, Inc for their support to this program and providing to the homeless Better Bucks voucher books monthly! Better Bucks has now paid out over $56,000 to our participating merchants for redeemed voucher books. You can now purchase books at https://www.shadowsfoundation.org/better-bucks and have them shipped to you!

Did you know that Better Bucks has paid out over $30,000 to our local participating Flagstaff merchants for redeemed Better Bucks! That's $30,000 we have kept in our community and off the streets.

Pick up your Better Bucks today! Keep them in your car so when you run into that person standing on the street asking for help you know you are truly helping them!

In an attempt to discourage panhandling by individuals who use the cash they receive from donors to feed substance abuse problems while at the same time remaining compassionate to those with legitimate needs.

Participating businesses have joined together with the Flagstaff Police Department and the Shadows Foundation to develop a system which allows donors to buy vouchers for non-alcoholic and non-tobacco related goods at participating businesses.

Vouchers allow donors to express their compassion free from concern their charity will be used by panhandlers to engage in self-destruction, and vouchers benefit participating retailers by providing increased business.

Very excited to announce the addition of Country Host Restaurant as one of our new Flagstaff Better Bucks merchants! Great food, wonderful owners and a great staff.

Thank you to all our merchants that participate in our Better Bucks to help us with an alternative way of giving.
