- #1 primary $184KOTHER PROGRAM SERVICES: Emergency Homeless Family Sheltering: In the most extreme circumstances, Homeless Liaisons at the various school districts reach out to us to assist a family in desperate need. We come alongside, when resources are available, provide emergency sheltering in a local motel for a short term period. This allows us to assess the situation, provide food and hygiene products to stabilize the situation while we intake & assess what is needed. On average at least 1 family a month is provided this service. Emergency housing can last from a few days to a few weeks depending on the circumstances. By building relationships with the Homeless Liaison at the School districts, they will use us as a resource for families. 15 to 18 calls a month directly for food, emergency aid and housing. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES: Back to School Tools-Every student should have all the tools necessary to succeed in school. We delivered 780 filled new backpacks with supplies. Deliveries were made specifically, to the 'At Risk', Displaced, and Homeless Students in our community either to them directly or delivered to the Homeless Liaison, Social Worker, Counselor, or Nurse at each of the schools. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES: On The Streets
- #2 $84KAdopt a Family for Christmas Program: We orchestrated the adoption of over 100 families for the Christmas Season. Some 220 Volunteers logged over 1,200 hours for this specific program this year. Provided were essential items for each parent and child such as coats, clothes, shoes, hygiene & dental products, along with giftbaskets. In some cases we delivered furniture, beds and even Christmas trees. Volunteers wrapped all of the items for 5 days separating by family, then by individuals within the family. Shortly thereafter, 13 Santa Claus and their Elfs were released with the gifts to deliver to families wherever they were located at that time throughout Maricopa County.
