Disinfecting Supplies, Team Building Opportunity and Eagle Project


Arizonans for Children has two visitation centers where kids in foster care come to spend time with their parents and siblings as the family works towards reunification.
Our centers have deep comfy sofa's, dining areas and lots of toys and games.  They are warm, vibrant spaces that allow for bonding in a supervised environment.

With the number of families on site we take disinfecting and sanitizing very seriously as this is an already vulnerable population.
One of our volunteer opportunities is a "Clean and Sanitize" project of either of our centers.  Volunteers from our community come to the center and literally disinfect and sanitize all public spaces as well as the sofas and toys.  We were very lucky this week to have a group of men come to the Phoenix center and do an incredible job of cleaning and sanitizing that center!


With the amount of cleaning, sanitizing and disinfecting we do at both centers we can always use donations of supplies.  Next time you are at the store considering picking up a bottle of vinegar or a roll of paper towels or if you are willing to hold a donation drive for supplies that would be a wonderful benefit to the families we serve!

If you would like to coordinate a team building volunteer project of a Clean and Sanitize - please contact Syri our Visitation Center Coordinator at 480-760-5334 or via email at az4children@gmail.com 


If you are willing to host a donation drive please contact Laura at 480-295-6963 or az4children.laura@gmail.com with questions.  We can create a social media campaign for your donation dive and a digital flyer!

Our Deep Clean and Sanitize project is a wonderful Eagle Scout Project.  Scouts collect all the necessary supplies and recruit volunteers.  This is a true leadership project that benefits so many kids and families in foster care.  Contact Laura to coordinate an Eagle Project - az4children.laura@gmail.com

Father's Day at Arizonans for Children

Father's Day Arizonans for Children Visitation Centers celebrate every holiday with the families on site.  This week we honored the fathers.  Dads that are trying to reunify and make sure their children are part of their lives. We see dads brushing doll hair, down on the floor encouraging their little ones to take the first steps, reading stories, enjoying meals together, laughing, playing and creating memories that will last a lifetime-memories that heal. " In the last hour of this duo's visit, I over heard them sigh when they didn't see chocolate cake as an option. I let them know I'm sure we had some and brought out a fresh cake for them. I'm not sure who had the biggest smile....dad or his daughter. Thanks to Cafe Valley Bakery, we have many options to feed those with a sweet tooth! The two gobbled up their cake. Dad was unaware Father's Day was coming up....I let him know it's a day to recognize all the fabulous dads....just like him

What a weekend at Arizonans for Children!  Technology, technology and more technology! We were very fortunate to be part of AZ Give Camp's Hack-a-Thon where teams of developers volunteer their time and expertise to engineer solutions for non-profits.  The hack-a-thon started Friday afternoon at 3:00pm and went all the way until Sunday at 4:00pm! Thanks to my new best friend Chris Huie, Arizonans for Children participated in this fantastic opportunity.  Our team Tomas, Mandy and Cindy listened to our agency needs, tossed ideas around and came up with the perfect solution.  This team developed an electronic check-in system that will offer faster check in and out times that will translate into more quality time spent on a visit for the families using the centers. This new system also tracks the data creating seamless reports while respecting and protecting the confidentiality of our clients.  All of this was done with the knowledge that cost  is always a factor in non-pro
