Halloween at Friendship Village this year will be truly spectacular! We really need lots of volunteers to help to host Trunk or Treat for kids that Phoenix Family serves.
Our kids at Friendship rarely get a chance to trick or treat in their own neighborhood, so we want to bring them all the fun with our Trunk or Treating! Never done a trunk or treat before? Check out some inspiration here: http://bit.ly/2fDmNR3 .
We are looking for lots of volunteers to donate their time, cars, and creativity and create an awesome Halloween experience. You can start setting up and decorating your cars around 5:00 pm and our trick or treaters will start at 5:30pm and finish at 7:00pm.
Even if you can't decorate your own trunk, please consider signing up to come and help with the event, there will be lots of other ways to help! Also, we will need donations of candy and/or food for dinner so let us know if you are willing to contribute in that way as well.
This is the perfect event to bring your family or friends and find out more about how Phoenix Family helps children, families, and seniors in low-income housing.

Mission Statement
Phoenix Family empowers people living in low-income housing communities with the on-site support they need to gain stability and achieve self-sufficiency.
Description
A stable, safe home holds enormous possibilities for a low-income family striving to chart a more secure and hopeful future. With an average household income of just $11,743, Phoenix Family’s residents are often just one crisis away from becoming homeless. And, like millions of low-income individuals across the United States, they need more than housing to build personal and financial assets and overcome barriers to success - they also require services where they live.
Volunteers are vital in helping Phoenix Family reach our mission of helping people and changing lives. Last year, we received support from more than 350 volunteers, but even this is not enough to meet all the needs in our community. Whether you are looking for a seasonal or regular opportunity as an individual or a group, Phoenix Family offers a variety of volunteer opportunities to help our community.
Phoenix Family’s Youth Development, Families First and Senior Empowerment Programs provide those critical on-site services that help residents learn skills and gain perspectives that keep dreams of stability and hope realities for the future.
Phoenix Family’s staff and programs rely on trust, rapport, choice and convenience to engage residents in services. All services delivered are culturally appropriate and based on the desired outcomes of residents, including increased disposable income, increased educational levels, improved health, and strengthened social networks.
