Affirming human dignity and developing just and caring communities for vulnerable children, families at risk, and people in crisis.

Providing help. Creating hope. Serving all. It is what we do. We have been doing it in Arizona for more than 75 years. What began in 1933 to advocate for children and to serve people suffering through the Great Depression, has expanded to an array of programs serving our most vulnerable residents throughout Central and Northern Arizona.

We are one of the major social service agencies Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix. Our mission of service is founded in Scripture: Jesus called upon his disciples to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked, care for the sick, welcome the stranger, and minister to the imprisoned.

We reach out to thousands of people, regardless of their race, ethnicity, economic status, or religious affiliation, to:

 ·        build just and caring communities

·          strengthen families

·          reduce poverty

·          ease suffering, and

·          advocate for justice
