At AZCEND, we know that there are people in our community who are isolated, who are hungry, who are living on the streets. We provide help and hope so people can get back on their feet and they don't have to face their crisis alone. AZCEND offers the convenience of a one-stop environment to address a myriad of individual and family basic needs. Our mission is to change lives by nourishing minds and bodies to create a connected, thriving community. AZCEND has provided basic needs services for over 50 years. As we have grown, we have added wrap around services to not only address the immediate crisis, but also to provide support to reach a higher level of stability and prevent a future crisis. Case management, financial coaching and early literacy equip our families and communities and provide long lasting outcomes. AZCEND strengthens individuals, families and communities through food boxes; parenting, health and literacy classes; rent and utility assistance; senior nutrition; meals on wheels; homeless services; and other comprehensive programs and resources. We want to do more than simply help people maintain their current situation - we want to provide people with the tools they need to change their lives for the better. Last year, over 17,000 people benefited from our services. Learn more at www.azcend.org.
