Winter Respite Program

Help keep someone warm this winter.
When the days cool down and the nights get chilly, remember the families and individuals who are homeless and on the street.

Arizona's cold winter nights don't seem so bad to those who have warm places to get out of the elements. But for those living outdoors or in their car, warm clothes and a blanket mean a lot. The community can assist by donating items that will keep people warm and protected during the cold nights of winter.

The city of Phoenix is asking people to donate only the following items to be distributed to those who are homeless:

Jackets, coats, sweat shirts - men's, women's, children's

Long pants, jeans, and sweats - men's, women's, children's

New underwear - men's, women's, children's

Blankets

Shoes

Cash or check donations to supplement the donated items also are welcomed. The program runs through March.

Tax-deductible donations may be delivered to any of the city's four Family Services Centers. Acknowledgement of donation is available. Please call 602-261-8806 to arrange a bulk or large donation.

Central Phoenix 1250 S. Seventh Ave. 602-534-1250	Travis L. Williams 4732 S. Central Ave. 602-534-4732
John F. Long 3454 N. 51st Ave. 602-262-6510	Sunnyslope 914 W. Hatcher Rd. 602-495-5229

The centers are open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday.

Donated items are distributed by local homeless outreach teams from Community Bridges, Connection to Care Team, Health Care for the Homeless, HomeBase Youth Services, Southwest Behavioral Health Service PATH Outreach, Stand Up for Kids, The Salvation Army Project HOPE, Tumbleweed Center for Youth Development, TERROS and US Vets.
