Phoenix Children's Project

The Phoenix Children's Project provides children and families in need with more than food and clothing, they build trust and self-esteem to prepare them for the future.   The Project is ran entirely by volunteers and donations.  Many of the children come from broken homes and lives of poverty, but are loved and happy.  

Doing activities like basketball, football and mountain climbing provides the kids with experiences that build character and improves social skills.  As well, the Project rewards hard work and good grades through more incentives.

The Phoenix Children's Project works with parents to teach them how to care for their children and support their families.  Most come from poor areas and have little education and income. 

Many of the children suffer due to their parents inability to teach them the vital lessons of life. This starts them off on the wrong path in life and the Project strives to redirect them to be successful and learn to achieve.  

Volunteers and donations are always needed.  Some of the most needed items are dishes, computers, washing machines, beds, diapers and holiday decorations.  

The holiday season is approaching fast and the organization is dependent on donations to make the children's holidays one to remember.  Many of the kids have never experienced the joy of opening a present under the christmas tree.  

For information about how to volunteer call (602) 955-2228 or email helpingkids@phoenixchildren.org

Projects and programs are a great way to meet the children and become involved in improving the life of one or several kids.  Painting is an example of a great way to teach and enrich a child.  Halloween is the closest holiday and the Project needs volunteers to setup the event and participate in activities.
