Save the Family equips families to address poverty and overcome homelessness.
The holiday season can be a very stressful time of year. Especially for parents enrolled in one of the Save the Family programs as they worry about their ability to create positive memories and traditions for their children. Our client families would not be able to afford the holidays without the help of generous sponsors like YOU!
How it works:
Purchase non-perishable food items on our approved list
Purchase a $30 grocery gift card so they can purchase perishable items appropriate to their family size and traditions
Historically sponsors have spent about $60 per family for these items
You can sponsor multiple families if you desire
All items should be packed in a laundry basket or sturdy box to enable easy transport to family’s homes by Save the Family staff
The 2015 Thanksgiving delivery dates is Monday, November 23th. Please mark your calendars early as all deliveries must be completed on this date. Contact our Holiday Sponsorship volunteers for more information or to sign up for a family. You can reach our Holiday Sponsorship Department at 480-898-0228 x216 or holidays@savethefamily.org. Thank you again for your interest in making a difference in our family’s lives this holiday season!

Mission Statement
Family homelessness is damaging to everyone it touches. Save the Family empowers families to conquer homelessness and achieve life-long independence. We envision communities free from family homelessness.
Description
Save the Family has been serving homeless families with children for more than 20 years. Founded in 1988, Save the Family was created to help homeless families become self-sufficient. In 1989, the agency acquired four housing units and served the first four families, who were referred from a local domestic violence shelter.
Early on, Save the Family recognized the need for services beyond just housing. Adult classes centered on parenting and personal growth and development, while children's classes offered expressive art activities, aimed at assisting children with sharing their experience of homelessness.
Program services now include career development, financial planning, education and support for domestic violence, tutoring, after-school classes and tuition dollars for summer camps and extracurricular activities.
Volunteers have, and will continue to play, an integral role in Save the Family's success. We rely on a robust volunteer base to provide various services such as: legal, medical and dental support, rehabilitation of our housing units, and classroom support as tutors and mentors.
Save the Family's success is a testament to the determination and hard work invested by homeless families and domestic violence victims who truly desire a better life. The growth of our facilities, and the expansion of our services make it possible for families to conquer homelessness and achieve life-long independence.
