Giving Back

Arizona has the 14th highest rate of childhood hunger in the United States, with one in four kids (and one in five adults) at risk for hunger each day.

In Arizona, the Law Enforcement Torch Run enables personnel from across the state to raise in excess of $1 million each year – all of which goes toward creating increased opportunities for Special Olympics Arizona athletes.

Each month, more than 800 people visit the Ronald McDonald Family Room (RMFR) at Diamond Children’s Medical Center in Tucson seeking solace from stressful hospital routines.

Not everyone is enjoying the dog days of summer. Pima Animal Care Center (PACC) has just a handful of empty crates – as evidenced by the nonprofit’s capacity meter which is currently fluctuating between code orange (high) and red (extreme) status.  

Gospel Rescue Mission of Tucson aims to make a difference in members of the homeless community – not only providing shelter, but also mental health services like faith-based recovery programs that can provide lasting restoration for individuals to lead productive, self-sufficient lives. 

When families leave the Ronald McDonald House, they’re often heading home to an empty fridge. That’s why the charity’s new House to Home program provides homeward-bound families with everything they need to settle in, including oven-ready frozen casseroles.

Tuesday, April 5 was Arizona Gives Day, dedicated to online giving for nonprofits across the state, such as the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona (CFBSA).

Since 1953, Gospel Rescue Mission (GRM) has been providing shelter, food, clothing and valuable resources for homeless individuals.

As part of its Spread the Word spirit week, Special Olympics Arizona will celebrate Inclusion Day March 2 to champion inclusivity awareness.

Across the country, approximately 50 million people are uncertain of when, or how, they will acquire their next meal.
