Help low-income seniors stay connected to their neighbors at an annual BBQ. On Saturday, June 16th, from 11:30 to 2:00, the seniors of St. Joseph Place will celebrate summer. Volunteers are invited to help serve and get to know senior residents. This is a great opportunity for families to volunteer together. All ages, individuals, families, and volunteer teams are welcome!
As seniors age, it is easy to lose social connections. These losses have a direct impact on health. You can make a difference by providing an opportunity for neighbors to connect and build friendships!
Sign up here today! Questions? Email April at volunteer@phoenixfamily.org .

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.
