Jobing Description
Providing help. Creating hope. Serving all. It is what we do. We have been doing it in Arizona for more than 75 years.

We are one of the major social service agencies of the Diocese of Phoenix. Our mission of service is founded in Scripture: Jesus called upon his disciples to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked, care for the sick, welcome the stranger, and minister to the imprisoned.
We reach out to thousands of people, regardless of their race, ethnicity, economic status, or religious affiliation, to:
- Shelter the homeless and abused
- Protect and nurture children
- Strengthen and reunify families
- Welcome and assist refugees
- Aid those in crisis, and
- Help the impoverished
