For more than 25 years, the owners of Valle Luna Mexican Food & Cantinas have believed that you should always give back to the community. According to Bill Riddle, giving back to the community has been something the family has done since the first restaurant opened in 1983.  You can tell by the lobby “walls of fame” that grace each location and include numerous youth sponsorship plaques. In addition Valle Luna has continually supported the many private, non-profit organizations, church groups, educational institutions and sports-related groups in their fundraising endeavors.  Gift certificates are sent out on a regular monthly basis to support their efforts.  To date, more than 6,200 organizations and groups have benefited from Valle Luna’s community efforts.

The Riddles also believe that volunteering is another important aspect of giving back.  Both Bill and Janie are active in chamber of commerce organizations (Phoenix, Chandler and North Valley Chamber (formerly Paradise Valley – where Janie was President), Fiesta Bowl, ASU and ASU West (Janie served as Dean’s Advisory Board member for the College of Teacher Education and Leadership, National Football Foundation/Valley of the Sun Chapter (Janie is current President and Bill, President Emeritus).  They also serve on the Arizona Licensed Beverage Assoc Board (both) and members of the Arizona Restaurant Association.
