A heartfelt thank you to our generous donors who made these unforgettable experiences possible, giving the kids a chance to enjoy some fun around Phoenix!

?????????????? ?????????? ???????? ?????? ?????????????? Recently, one of our Street Outreach Case Managers met Michael at a local gas station. After offering him water and hygiene supplies, they struck up a conversation, and Michael mentioned that he needed help replacing his ID. The case manager asked if he had time to take care of it right then. Michael was a bit hesitant, not wanting to be a bother, but the case manager reassured him, explaining that this is exactly what Phoenix Rescue Mission Street Outreach is here to do. That day, the case manager helped Michael replace his ID, provided him with a weekly food bag from Hope for Hunger Food Bank, gave him some new clothing from our warehouse, and even got his phone services reconnected. Additionally, they were able to get Michael screened for several sober living homes. Before he left, Michael thanked the case manager, saying he didn’t realize the Hope Coaches could offer so much help but was grateful to know now.
