The Streets Don’t Love You Back intervention program based in Maricopa raised funds to print more program booklets with a party at Water and Ice on Saturday. Mayor Christian Price, Councilmember Henry Wade, state Sen. Steve Smith, Police Chief Steve Stahl and Constable Bret Roberts were behind the counter with owner Tonya Thompson and her staff serving up ice cream on a hot day that was also TSDLYB co-founder Lucinda Boyd’s birthday. Co-founder Rob Boyd, releasing new music, also prepped a video.
It was the first fund-raiser for the organization, which teaches its program in Maricopa and Phoenix and is also in state prisons to battle recidivism rates. As the program grows, more booklets are needed for the courses. So far, TSDLYB has relied on donations.
