We are honored to introduce our second-quarter charity partner, Family Promise of Greater Phoenix. This remarkable organization supports families experiencing homelessness as they work to regain stability, dignity, and long-term independence. Their mission is rooted in a powerful belief: families should never have to choose between staying together and having a safe place to live—and that includes their beloved pets.
This quarter, we are raising funds to purchase a washer and dryer set for their temporary housing. Access to clean clothing—whether for school or a job interview—can make a profound difference in a person’s confidence and sense of dignity.

For those who prefer to give in another way, we are also sharing access to their online wish list, where items can be purchased and shipped directly to the organization. Click the Wish List below to go to Family Promise AZ's Wish List on Amazon.
Additionally, we are collecting new dog and cat toys, as well as food and water bowls, which can be brought to NVC on Sundays and placed in the Outreach box in the lobby.


New Vision Center is turning the collective intention toward a vital new outreach partnership with Corbin’s Legacy, a non-profit dedicated to eliminating food and medical insecurity for underrepresented elementary school children in Maricopa County.
Many students who rely on school meals face a "hunger gap" over the weekend. The Weekend Warrior program bridges that gap, providing bags filled with nutritious, easy-to-prepare food so these children can return to school on Monday nourished and ready to thrive.
Expanding Hearts Through Love and Service
Dr. Joan Leafman, Director of our first quarter charity partner, Corbin’s Legacy, shared a sobering reality: within any square mile in the Phoenix area, at least 1 in 4 children will go hungry and 1 in 6 will go without needed medical care on any given night.
On, Feb 28th NVC stepped into that need. More than three dozen “Weekend Warrior” volunteers gathered in our Breezeway to pack weekend food bags for children identified by their schools as food insecure. Dr. Leafman reported that NVC not only provided the food but packed over 750 bags on Saturday morning! That is enough to provide food for a weekend for all identified children in over 25 different schools. She said “That is amazing!”
As each bag moved from hand to hand, it was clear that more than food was being placed inside — love, compassion, and hope were being packed as well. We trust that every child who opens a bag will feel that care.
Thank you to every volunteer who demonstrated what it truly means to expand hearts through love and service. While our packing party has ended, the opportunity to make a difference continues. Donations to support the Corbin’s Legacy’s mission to eliminate childhood food insecurity will be accepted through NVC through the end of March.
What a wonderful expression of care and love!
