Happy Friday and Happy 2025! Thanks be to God for another blessed year to serve!

We have been super busy already and we have lots of plans for 2025 to serve more areas! So if you are looking for an opportunity to volunteer and serve, we will be planning a couple Saturdays every month to serve our friends at Maryvale Park and Cesar Chavez Park.

If you are interested in volunteering, please reach out to us. We will be posting a sign up sheet soon for each. Tomorrow will be our first day serving Cesar Park. If you are interested in helping, please reach out.

We are also in need of more donations of snack, forks/spoon/ containers, pet food supplies, blankets, men’s clothes and more to share with more of our friends. Let us know if you can help!

We will be serving today at Bonsall park, so if you see any of our friends near us…send them our way! Thanks!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving 🦃 Outreach this past Friday! Praise God for everyone he brought to us to help with this dinner. Without his grace and love and everyone he brought to us, we couldn’t have had such a successful dinner for our unhoused friends and families that joined us.

We want to thank all our wonderful donors and volunteers who helped so much! This included Julie Schwartz and daughter, Gudi Acree and granddaughter, Natalie and Kyle, Morgan Poland and her wonderful sister Susanna Pastell, Pam Fuller, The Vawter Family-James Vawter III, Dawn Vawter and daughter Madison Hicks, Jesus People Church members Adam and Jo Ann Hoffman, Mary Barry and Mary Barbro, Joyce and Barbara Teague, Josué Santana and his friend Sergio, Reborn Church, La Doña de Asistentes and all her wonderful donors and so many more we know we are missing. We thank you all for helping us make that day a memorable dinner for our unhoused friends and families that joined us for this meal. 🍽️

Thank you all for your wonderful support and we hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and friends! God bless!

We had a great outreach last Friday. Even though there has been a lot of construction 🚧 going on at the South Park we serve at, we just moved our outreach across the street to the north side of the park. No biggie. As long as we have an area to serve, we are happy. There was a lot of hungry people out there who were happy to see we had a hot meal for them. They were very grateful. Our wonderful team member Joyce made some wonderful spaghetti 🍝 to go with the pizza we serve, along with some cookies 🍪 and an apple 🍎 . We also had some hot sopita de conchitas y papas, just the way momma makes it. A classic comfort food for the Hispanic family. It was definitely a winner, as we had many come back for seconds.
This week we also had a nice selection of winter coats 🧥 and a couple of blankets, thank you donors. We are out now. We could really use more new/used blankets, jackets, new socks as we are completely out of new socks. We did have some used socks donated that went quick. Our friends out here are grateful for everything, new or used. We are also out of men’s clothes. 75 percent of those we serve are men so it goes quick! So men, if you have any clothes you no longer need or want, they can surely use it out here. Thanks!

We now have our sign up sheet available for those that would like to volunteers to help, cook or purchase something for our Annual Thanksgiving 🦃 meal at the park event. We already have all the turkeys we need this year 🙌🏼, but we could use some ham, side dishes, soda and desserts. We have water. We also were donated plenty of forks, spoons and cups thanks for our event, thanks to Mary from Phoenix Children's Project!

This year we will be serving our Thanksgiving meal on Friday, November 22nd. Every year for this event, we set up tables, chairs, play music and give away new beanies and gloves to our friends to prepare them for this cold weather.

We also do the same event in the park for our friends for Christmas. So if you can’t help with our Thanksgiving event and you’re looking for a way to give back with your time or to purchase something, we could definitely use your support collecting raffles items to give away to our friends for Christmas. We are looking for donated items of new blankets, sleeping bag, tent, backpacks, etc that we can give away during Christmas. Since we normally don’t usually get enough items donated to give everyone, we normally raffle the new gifts 🎁 our during our lunch, to give everyone fair opportunity for a gift. So if anyone would like to purchase a new blanket, sleeping bag, tent, backpack, etc for the raffle, they will be very grateful. We are also looking for donation of stockings and candy to give out as a small gift/ treat.

We would love to make these next two holidays a wonderful one for them as they often tell us they miss those special memories and meals of home. So since they are now a part of our community family, we would love to make these next two holidays special for them once again. So we would be grateful for any and all the support we can get.

Thank you and have a great weekend! The Blessings to the Calles outreach team.

Happy weekend! Another month coming to an end. We were hoping for cooler weather by now but we are still in the 100 degree weather going into October. 🥵 A hot start to Fall, but we are hanging in there, still serving every Friday! If our friends out here can do it every day, we can as well on Fridays! 💪🏼

We know cooler weather is coming soon, 🤞🏼so we are planning now and collecting winter items. If you have any winter items, that you no longer need or want, please consider donating them to us for our unhoused friends. They will be needing them soon.

Items needed: Jackets, sweaters/hoodies, long sleeve shirts, pants, new socks 🧦, beanies, gloves, scarves, blankets, sleeping bags, tents, hand warmers …really anything to stay warm. Coffee mix, cups of soups and hot cocoa will also be needed to provide something warm to eat and drink. Anything is really appreciated. Thanks!

Thank you Manzo Pao for your donation of pb&j and dog food for our unhoused friends we received today. Paola has a pb&j drive every year at her office, and we are very blessed and grateful, that she shares some with us every year. 🙏🏼

Wow, where is August going? In a blink of the eye, this busy month came and is almost gone! We have not posted lately but we are still out there serving our unhoused friends every week. If you don’t find us on here, please stop by the park to find us there every Friday!

We appreciate all of you that follow and support us, and to all our donors that continue to donate to our outreach, so we may continue to provide for our unhoused friends. We appreciate you all for keeping us going and serving.

So please, if you see any of our unhoused friends out there, please send them our way at Bonsall Park on Fridays so we can provide them with food and clothes.

If anyone is wanting to donated clothes, hygiene, food or more, please feel free to reach out to us to arrange drop off or pick up. We can surely use all the items we can get for our friends out here. Summer is not over yet, so we can still use lots of electrolytes, cooling towels, shoes and summer attire. We are also accepting winter attire and items as well. We are now starting to prepare for the upcoming winter months, so if you got any winter items you would like to donate, we will take them! Blankets and pillows are always needed as well year around.

Thank you all for all your support and God bless! 🙏🏼

Happy Friday! ☀️

It’s going to be another hot day but we will be serving both Bonsall park and Maryvale park today! So please send any of our friends you see on the streets our way!

Enchilada casserole, rice and beans is on our menu today. We can’t forget the pizza, dessert and fruit too! Outreach should be great!

Here are pictures from our last two outreaches. We want to thank Julie Schwartz for joined us last Friday for outreach. We love when our donors come out to join us and volunteer. Thank you!

We want to send a “Thank you” to some of our wonderful donors.

Yesterday we received an Amazon package that had four boxes of puddings purchased from our Amazon wish list. We didn’t get a name for donor of the snack puddings, but we thank you for the donation. 🙏🏼

We also want to thank Julie Schwartz who notified a group she is in of our need for water and electrolytes. Because of her advertisement, a wonderful donor from her group by the name of Melandie Moseby donated 3 cases of water and a few cases of Gatorade for our unhoused friends. Thank you both for helping us keep our friends hydrated.

We have another “thank you” for Crystal Jackson, who placed an online delivery of Gatorades from a grocery store. She had it delivered directly to us, which was appreciated. Thank you Crystal. Our unhoused friends enjoyed them at outreach.

We also can’t thank enough Gudi Acree, Natalie and Kyle Decker for not only ensuring we have meat and cheese sandwiches every week, but for also provide us with water almost every time we pick up sandwiches 🥪 Thank you and we appreciate you all!

If we missed anyone, we apologize. Please know that every “thank you” and “we appreciate you” that our unhoused friends tell us every week, are for all of you.

Thank you all for your donations and support.

We want to send another huge “Thank you” to the Reborn Church for another pallet of water for our unhoused.

Last month they not only gave us a pallet of water, they also provide us truck full of more water, Powerade, snack bags, women hygiene in purses, hygiene kits and additional hygiene items to place in them, tomato paste for pasta sauce, gloves, chips and more. We are so grateful for all these blessings for our unhoused friends. Thank you! 🙏🏼

The last couple weeks have been hot 🔥and busy for us. We expect it only to get busier as the heat rises.

At last Friday’s outreach, Barbara Teague brought her daughter and a few of her wonderful grandkids to help us at outreach. We love when the kiddos help. Our young helpers always bring smiles to our unhoused friend’s faces when they see them serving. Thank you Barbara for bringing your family with you to join us. ❤️

We have also started doing street outreach more throughout Maryvale and the west valley as we see the need growing. We have been serving at Maryvale park after our Friday outreach as we see the need there has increased. We are hoping if we can get more volunteers to help us on possible a Saturday, we would like to provide a full outreach with clothes as well. At this time, we are only able to provide food and drinks. Until we have a Saturday date available and volunteers to help, we will continue to provide food and drinks to them on Fridays.

In a previous Saturday, we also provided and served a lunch at Larkspur Christian Church - Disciples of Christ to help feed some of our unhoused friends that go to the church to seek respite. God bless all the staff and volunteers that help at that respite center. We also want to thank Larkspur Christian church for opening your doors, once again, to provide shelter and food for our unhoused friends during the hottest time of the year when most needed. God bless you all!

We can still use some cooling towels, Gatorade, hats, bandannas, summer attire, shoes 👟 and anything that will help our unhoused friends. With the rising heat, our friend out here can use anything that will keep them cool. We also have an Amazon wish list available that many of these items can be purchased. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/18S2ERV7FO4M9?ref_=wl_share

We do want to thank Reborn Church for their wonderful donation of 560 bottle waters, two cases of Powerade, Floss, Toothbrushes 🪥, Toothpaste, Airline packets for hygiene , tomato sauce, Gloves and 80 Mini body wash we received last week. We appreciate your support!
