Girl Scouts–Arizona Cactus-Pine Council
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.

Hacienda HealthCare
Founded in 1967 as Hacienda de los Angeles, a single facility serving three children, Hacienda has continued to expand to meet the needs of the ever-increasing numbers of infants, children and young adults who require the high level of medical and habilitation care offered by the organization. Today, Hacienda is Arizona’s leading provider of specialized health care and social services to infants, children and young adults who have medical, physical and intellectual impairments. Hacienda’s comprehensive service system is capable of meeting the habilitation, restorative and long-term needs of individuals who are victims of genetic disorders, birth trauma, accidents, physical abuse and debilitating or life threatening diseases.

Helen's Hope Chest
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.

Make an Investment in Love and Kindness
Our Vision: We believe that outreach happens most effectively in the midst of community. Every person deserves an equal opportunity and to be empowered to sustain a reasonable quality of life. We work with individuals, families and communities to support them in meeting their needs, assist in resolving their issues, end suppression, and build an unbiased and empathetic culture. We strive to fill needs that have no resource and to work with other resources to fulfill our mission. Our focus is never to ignore any demographic issue or need. Our goal is to create a solution and bring hope to those that benefit from it. We want to build relationships and work together with all to obtain and sustain peace. We seek out people that want to become advocates for their neighbors and will put to action grassroots efforts that benefit the community and society as a whole. Our Slogan: To end human suffering by committing acts of love and kindness.

Oakwood Creative Care
Oakwood Creative Care was organized as Sirrine Adult Day Care of Mesa, Inc., in 1975 by a group of concerned citizens.The corporate name was changed to Oakwood Creative Care in early 2013 in response to a need to develop an identity that is easily remembered and better expresses our mission. Oakwood Creative Care offers a unique service in the continuum of elder care for residents of Mesa and surrounding communities. We offer long-term support to a vulnerable population afflicted with Alzheimer’s Disease, other dementias, stroke, and other conditions of impairment. Understanding that the condition of the elder family member affects the entire family unit, services are also offered for caregivers. Ultimately, our goal is to support the senior in maintaining the highest possible quality of life for as long possible, while supporting the family caregiver. Our innovative programs offer activities and wellness with a professional staff team and support services for the families. Oakwood offers the Adult Day Health Services in two locations, Town Center Day Club (247 N. MacDonald) and Red Mountain Day Club (7550 E. Adobe Road) in Mesa.
