We Serve

Motivated Individuals & Families in Need

IMPACT Phoenix collaborates and coordinates services within our community to empower those that are most vulnerable.  IMPACT Phoenix is able to assist all in need but more specifically focuses on these populations within our community:

  • Individuals and families in or at near poverty
  • Elementary and secondary school students experiencing challenges in school and in the families
  • Individuals and families experiencing homelessness or near homelessness
  • People recently released from incarceration beginning to transition back into society

In all of the populations described above, the key ingredient that must be present is the individual’s willingness to take ownership of his/her situation and actively work to move forward toward a more self-sustaining life.
