The TACO Team provides community & social support for Atheists, and non-believers in Southern AZ. The seed was planted then to start this group.

At the Annual Winter Solstice party in 2015 a group of us heathens were sitting around the bonfire talking about all the things we wish we could do to help our community. Many lofty ideas were brought up and maybe we'll get there someday. Now each month we choose a different cause in the Tucson community to volunteer for and have a donation or fundraising drive for. If you have an idea of who we can help, contact us! Jennifer, Lydia or Nathan will get back to you!

Last call: Matching Circle pledges close Sunday 🌵

Two generous partners have each pledged $250, so $500 in matching funds is already doubling gifts for Tucson families.

This is the final weekend to help us grow that match toward $2,000. Pledge $250, $500, or $1,000, and every gift from other donors is matched dollar for dollar until the pool runs out.

You pledge a maximum. You only pay what gets matched, after donations close December 11.

Matchers are recognized on our campaign page, social media, and results report, or can stay anonymous.

🧠 Talking Godlessly

📅 Thursday, October 29 · 6:30–8:30 PM
📍 Med Cuisine Restaurant & Bar, 1763 E. Prince Rd., Tucson, AZ 85719
💬 No prep or expertise required. Topic announced at the table.

Every other Thursday, we get together for a group discussion on a topic in atheism, the impact of religion on individuals and society, and how that affects us as free thinkers. We always start with a central topic, and then let the discussion go where it will, with reference to the central theme.

This discussion group often reaches into history and theoretical concepts, which means that we discuss not just current topics, but how the past and the possibilities of the future may affect it. It is not necessarily a goal-oriented discussion or a planning session, as much as it is a chance to play in the mental field of these ideas, from as many angles as possible. You will never have to prepare for the discussion because the topic will be accessible without research, and you are as welcome to come just to listen, as you are to share your thoughts! If you like to discuss in this way, this group is for you.

If you have a topic you'd like to discuss, please msg us.

Good news: your gift to The Giving Saguaro is now being matched! 🌵

Two generous Matching Circle partners have pledged a combined $500, so every donation is now matched dollar for dollar until that $500 is used up. Give $25, and Tucson families get $50.

Our very first donor has already been matched, and they even chose to cover the processing fee so every penny goes to families. If you’d like to do the same, you’ll see that option when you give.

We’re still working toward a $2,000 match. Know someone who might join the Matching Circle? Pledges are open through November 1: [email protected]
