Willpower Incorporated and the Quartzsite Food Bank work together to supply nutritious meals, snacks, juice and milk to children participating in the Summer Recreation Program.
The Summer Recreation Program happens in June and July. Children participate in problem-solving games, physical education, nutrition education, and get to go swimming at the YMCA in Yuma on Wednesdays. When it's 115 outside...or more...this is a major treat!

The Kid’s Fun Night sleepover May 26, 2006 was a great success. Forty-two of the 110 Quartzsite Elementary School came to spend the night in a locked facility, have fun, eat pizza, play games…and keep the grown-ups up all night!

Willpower's secretary / Town of Quartzsite Rec Leader Dr. Donna Pierce arranged for the Quartzsite Parks, Recreation and Library Departments to have a dog safety program presented to the children enrolled in the after-school program at the library March 8, 2006.
A winter visitor / professional dog breeder and groomer brought her champion Amercian Pit Bull Terrier, Dakota, to the library to teach the children how to approach an unfamiliar dog, how a pet dog should be treated and cared for, and gave a primer about dog training.
She brought a dog training video with her and the children sat absolutely still, enthralled, as they watched. She also gave the children coloring books featuring animal safety and information for them to take home to help educate pet-owner parents about spay and neuter programs to help prevent unwanted animal births.
