🚗💚 A car can be more than transportation. It can be a key to independence, opportunity and a brighter future. 🌟

We’re so proud to see Arizona Friends of Foster Children Foundation’s Keys to Success 🔑 program featured on ABC15 Arizona Uplifting Arizona | Celebrating AZ life🌵! The program helps youth in and aging out of foster care build financial independence by learning essential financial literacy skills, including how to open and manage a savings account. 🏦💵

When a young person saves $3,000 toward a vehicle, AFFCF matches it with another $3,000, giving them $6,000 toward purchasing a car. 🚘

We’re proud to have helped create 100+ success stories like Abraham’s. Through hard work and determination, these young adults are gaining the independence and mobility they need to get to school, work and the opportunities that can help them build lasting success. 🤝💼

We loved this event! Thank you for having us! 💚🧸

What happens when 15 nonprofit organizations are put into the same space with each other? They mingle! 💙 🤝

Last Thursday, Phoenix Community Alliance (PCA) convened 15 nonprofit Members inside Snell & Wilmer's office for their first Downtown Community Involvement Fair. The goal of the event was to bring visibility to each organization's unique services and create further connectivity and relationships.

And from what we've heard from Members, the event and its mission was a roaring success! Thank you to Snell & Wilmer for creating additional opportunities for our membership. ✨

PCA Members in attendance: 👇
Arizona Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired, Arizona Friends of Foster Children Foundation, Circle the City, Genesis City (Genesis Academy), Global Ties Arizona, Habitat for Humanity Central Arizona, The Harmony Project, HopeKids, Japanese Friendship Garden of Phoenix, New Pathways for Youth, Phoenix Center For The Arts, Rosie's House: A Music Academy for Children, Sounds of Autism, The Society of St. Vincent de Paul, and Valley Youth Theatre.

💙 Back-to-School Moments Made Possible! 🎒✨

A HUGE thank you to West Valley Mavericks Foundation for inviting AFFCF to your back-to-school event and generously providing $2,600 in Kohl’s Cash to support children and families in our foster community! 🧸💚 Your generosity helped make an important milestone a little brighter for families preparing for a new school year. 👩‍🏫🏫

One of the recipients was Julie Valencia, an AFFCF Post-Secondary Program scholar, who used her Kohl’s Cash to shop for her adorable son, Elijah, as he gets ready for kindergarten! 🥹💙 And look at him rocking his new Kohl’s shirt on his first day of school! 📚👕

Julie shared:
“I was able to get my son some school clothes and some shoes in order to get him ready for kindergarten. He loved being able to shop and look around with mom, which is something we don’t get to do as often unless it’s a grocery store since money can be tight sometimes.”

Thank you, West Valley Mavericks Foundation; your support gave our foster community more than school clothes and shoes. It allows them to create special memories and helps kids like Elijah start the school year feeling confident and ready to learn. 💙🎒✨
