NVC Outreach Team is coming off a very successful first‑quarter project with Corbin’s Legacy.
A special shout‑out goes to Project Leads Nikki Ballin and Chris Scherf

for their dedication in coordinating February’s Warrior Packing Party. Together, our community packed 750 bags of food for children who face food scarcity on weekends.

It was joyful, energetic work—and it made a real difference. Thank you to everyone who donated and all who showed up to pack those bags full of food and love!  You helped ease childhood hunger right here in the Valley.

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.
