Arizona Cardinals Sponsor Emergency Santa

The Emergency Santa program at the Catholic Charities Care Campus had a lot to celebrate when Adam Richman from the Arizona Cardinals stopped by! 

A special thank you to the Cardinals for kicking off our Emergency Santa program with a generous donation that will provide holiday gifts to vulnerable youth.

Last year, the Emergency Santa program provided gifts to over 500 children, bringing joy to more than 180 Arizona families.

Special Thanks to Diocese of Phoenix Parishes

We are grateful for the partnership and support of parishes within the Diocese of Phoenix. As the social service arm of the diocese, we strive to help meet needs in our communities and give parishes an opportunity to be a part of our lifesaving and life-changing work.

Helping Individuals and Couples Become Foster Parents

Catholic Charities’ Foster Care program provides a blend of online and classroom courses, known as Foster Parent College, that individuals or couples must complete to become licensed foster parents. 

Foster Parent College educates parents on how to keep children safe in foster care, help them deal with trauma, and maintain healthy relationships with biological families. A facilitator monitors each student’s progress and provides support throughout. 

Read more about this fantastic training and the families who have completed it.

We would like to thank a special long-time donor who designated a $165,000 gift to My Sisters’ Place in her estate. If you are interested in including Catholic Charities in your will or estate plan, please contact Angie Trumble at ETrumble@cc-az.org or 602-499-6030 for more information on Planned Giving.
