GSACPC serves central and northern Arizona, and portions of the Navajo Nation. Equipped with skill-building programming and four resident and day camps, we reach 24,000 girls ages 5-17 and 10,000 adult volunteers each year.
GSACPC is always looking for those interested in sharing their time and talents with girls. It is a fun-filled and rewarding journey helping to shape girls of courage, confidence and character that builds lasting memories.
While a girl pays just $12 in annual dues, our Council invests more than $300 to provide her with a full year of high quality programs. As a 501C-3 organization, we depend on contributions from individuals, foundations, and corporate partners to make Girl Scouting affordable to every girl, regardless of her family income. Your gifts support the cost of membership, programs, camp, volunteer training, and so much more.

When a child is removed from a dangerous housing situation and placed into foster or kinship care, they are often unable to take with them basic items such as clothing, shoes, and hygiene items. At Helen's Hope Chest, we provide these children and their new foster families from all across Arizona with a place to "shop" for these supplies in a warm and welcoming boutique-like environment. Thanks to your generous donations, we are able to provide these items free of cost to 650-750 clients monthly so the family and child can focus on healing and living their best life possible. |

Founded in 1983, United Food Bankâs mission is to provide access to nutritious food through community partnerships, food distribution and education in the greater East Valley and Eastern Arizona. We achieve our mission by providing food and related commodities to people in need through a network of 255 partner agencies; partnering with emergency food programs and other nonprofits that meet the needs of food-insecure people; providing a system for distributing food and commodities; educating the public about hunger; and providing services with compassion and respect for the clientsâ dignity.
As a Feeding America affiliate, United Food Bank is part of a 200-food bank network that provides connections to national food companies.
As part of the Association of Arizona Food Banks, United Food Bank works to disseminate information on poverty and hunger, as well as cooperate on food distribution.
In 2010, United Food Bank relocated to a new facility at 245 S Nina Drive in Mesa. This move enabled us to triple our storage capacity and feed more people.
We still do all of our sorting and volunteer activities at our original location at 358 E Javelina Avenue in Mesa.
United Food Bankâs service area is over 25,000 square miles, approximately 22% of Arizonaâs total land area. Approximately 22% of Arizonaâs total population is in United Food Bankâs service area.
