Our speaker today was Jennifer Koeller, Corporate and Community Relations Manager for the "Save the Family Foundation of Arizona".
The Save the Family Foundation was founded in 1988 as a 501c3 corporation. It is headquartered in Mesa, AZ. Its mission is to equip families to address poverty, to overcome homelessness and to achieve self-sufficiency. Save the Family uses a 3-tiered approach involving housing, case coordination and supportive services to homeless, low income, disabled and veterans families. 90% of the families who enroll in their programs graduate within 10 months and move on to success in employment, financial stability and a life of independence and self-reliance. They serve over 650 families a year.
Their greatest needs are for cash donations and volunteers. They also need donations of clothing, food, hygiene products, cleaning supplies and furniture. Donor tours are available to see what they do firsthand.
