Sun City West is an age-restricted community in the Northwest Valley in Maricopa County Arizona. It is a community of about 25,000 people. As the majority of residents are retired, they have plenty of time to retire. They make full use of that time to give back to their community.Some of their volunteer work goes beyond the borders of the community.
