Senator Finchem Urges Community Support for the Paulden Food Bank

in Yavapai County

PHOENIX, ARIZONA— Rural Arizona is struggling, and the Food Bank of Paulden in Yavapai County needs assistance. Senator Mark Finchem, a regular contributor on a national X podcast that discusses cryptocurrency legislation, regulation, and occasionally litigation, challenged viewers to make a donation using DASH, a popular cryptocurrency. This challenge was prompted by the current situation at the Paulden and Prescott Food Bank. Over the past two weeks, since the show, nearly $1,000 has been raised for Senator Finchem's challenge.

"I am excited to announce that the DASH cryptocurrency community and @Digitalgoldtalk, a national X podcast, have raised nearly $1,000 for the local community service organization," said Senator Finchem. "Today, I had the pleasure of presenting a $1,000 cashier's check to the Paulden Food Bank, just in time to assist families in need during the Thanksgiving holiday. However, we won't stop here. We are expanding our donation efforts to accept all forms of contributions, including cash, food, cryptocurrency, checks, and more. We plan to deliver a similar check the day before Christmas Eve. If you wish to make your donation via DASH, please download the app and scan the QR code. Our goal is to provide significant relief to this impoverished rural community in LD1!"
