This month, Save the family would like to highlight the hundreds of individuals, churches, clubs and businesses, that participate in the holiday sponsorship program. You bring meals, gifts and smiles to every family in our program. On behalf of the families we serve, THANK YOU!
Also, the holiday sponsorship program wouldn't be possible without the help from numerous volunteers who dedicated their time to the operation of the program. These volunteers are the backbone of the program's success, and we couldn't do it without them. Thank you! |

Save the Family in the News
"Program helps homeless families escape abuse, poverty"
"Adrienne Elizondo was faced with one of the scariest decisions of her life when escalating financial and relationship problems caused by a boyfriend's drug addiction came to a head. One evening during a fight, he hurled a table at her while their two young children hid in a bedroom crying.
She didn't know where she would go or how she was would support herself and her children, but she knew she had to get out of there..."

HELP OTHERS WHILE YOU HELP YOURSELF;
IT ISN'T AS HARD AS YOU THOUGHT.
Recently, the Arizona Republic featured an article about how to get involved in volunteering. Here is how you can get involved at Save the Family.
Episodic Volunteering
Are you someone who can't commit to serving on a regular basis? Episodic volunteering at Save the Family offers opportunities to volunteer as time permits.
Opportunity
Volunteer for the Read to Me Program. Volunteers Read one-on-one with children, ages 4-11, that are in our program. For more information click here
Family-friendly Volunteering
Studies show that involving kids in service builds healthy communities, and children who volunteer are much more likely to continue volunteering into adulthood! Volunteering together can strengthen families by creating common goals, a sense of achievement, and improved communication.
Opportunity
Volunteer at home to make sack meals or snacks for children and families in our after school classes. For more information click here
Student Volunteering
There are a lot of reasons why teens should volunteer. Besides of the obvious reasons like helping the community and making the world a better place, student volunteering helps with personal growth, gaining entrance into college, and increasing job experience.
Opportunity
Help teens at Save the Family by organizing our "teen closet" or organizing a donation drive of gently used teen clothing and accessories at your school or church. For more information click here
Corporate Volunteering
Volunteerism is a key component of many companies' philanthropic and community affairs programs. Corporate volunteerism can be a triple win: helping people in the community while giving employees a chance to shine and benefiting the company in numerous ways.
Opportunity
With more than 160 housing units across the East Valley we are looking for corporate groups large and small to clean and paint a home. Your work enables Save the Family to move a family off the streets and into our program. For more information click here | |
