Children’s Basic Needs
The Children’s Basic Needs program ensures that children have access to essential items that support their well-being, boost their self-esteem, and relieve financial strain on parents and caregivers. By providing clothing, shoes, and other necessities, we help create stability and comfort for children in care.
This support allows families to focus on what matters most—nurturing their children and helping them thrive.
School Shoes Shopping
A new school year starts with a new step—literally! Our School Shoes Shopping event gives every child in the family the chance to pick out a brand-new pair of shoes from the store. This fun tradition not only prepares kids for the year ahead but also helps boost their confidence and sense of belonging. Families arrive at scheduled times to shop, ensuring a smooth and joyful experience for all.
Winter Jacket Shopping
Even in Arizona, winter temperatures can dip low—especially during trips up north for family camps. Every child deserves to stay warm, and this special biennial event makes that possible. Held at a local mall, families shop at scheduled times so each child can pick out a brand-new jacket or sweatshirt of their very own—something warm, cozy, and just their style.
Holiday Toys
The holiday season can be especially meaningful for children in foster, kinship, and adoptive families. Through this event, each child receives a brand-new toy or gift card—chosen just for them. With the help of generous community partners and volunteers, we match gifts to each child’s age, interests, and wish list to ensure they feel seen, valued, and celebrated. It’s a simple but powerful way to bring joy and create lasting holiday memories. This event is part of the Recycle Your Bicycle (RYB) distribution.
