Save the Family equips families to address poverty and overcome homelessness.
Save the Family is in desperate need of air mattresses with pumps to help ensure that families entering our program are not sleeping on the floor. Health code regulations have prohibited our agency from accepting used mattress donations.
Save the Family has many Eagle project opportunities available, all require attending one of our Eagle Project orientations. This project however may be an exception due to the urgency of need.
The scout will need to secure 200 air mattresses with pumps and coordinate delivery to Save the Family.
Please contact Laura Pahules if you are interested in this Eagle project opportunity at 480-466-7711 or laura.pahules@savethefamily.org

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.
