It’s Cliff’s birthday! 🎂🎉

Today we’re celebrating the founder who started Phoenix Family and whose vision continues to shape who we are and what we do. What began with one idea has grown into a community that reaches thousands of residents every year, and we’re grateful Cliff gave it its start.

Happy Birthday, Cliff! We hope your day is full of good people, good memories, and maybe a little birthday cake. We’re lucky to have you as part of the Phoenix Family.

Some love for our staff today ❤

They've been rockstars all summer, and especially with Operation Backpack! Making it happen one team lift at a time. But none of it really feels like work when the company is this good.

We're grateful for all the hard work they put into connecting our residents with what they need to succeed!

Show them some love in the comments!!!❤

This is what back to school looks like with Phoenix Family.

New backpacks. Snow cones that look more like snow mountains. Cotton candy spun the size of your head. And a whole lot of happy kids ready for the school year ahead.

Thank you to every volunteer and donor who helped make it happen. We couldn’t do it without you!

No piece of produce, no matter how small, is ever wasted.😊

A big shoutout to Harvesters for bringing fresh food to our residents all summer long! From produce boxes to pantry staples, these boxes help make sure our residents have access to nutritious food throughout the season.🍎🥔🥒🧅

We’re grateful for partners who help keep fresh food on the table and make summer a little more delicious!

Summer isn't over yet, and our HIKE kids are here to remind you! ☀️💦

Beat the heat, get in the pool, splash around, and have a little fun like a kid. That’s exactly what our HIKE kids have been doing all summer long!

There’s still time to make a few more summer memories.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

What started as a few backpacks and school supplies has turned into rows of backpacks ready for children across our communities.

Thank you to everyone who donated, hosted a school supply drive, volunteered, or made a financial gift during this year's Operation Backpack.

Because of you, children will head back to school with the backpack and supplies they'll need for the year ahead.

We'll be sharing photos from our Back-to-School Events next week as these backpacks make their way to the children they're meant for.

Thank you for making Operation Backpack possible.

A huge thank you to the folks from Lockton who volunteered during Operation Backpack. Because of you, children will be starting the school year with what they needed—and that's something worth celebrating.

A huge thank you to everyone from Sun Life who graciously hosted our Backpack Stuffing Day.

Because of your time and energy, thousands of school supplies found their way into backpacks that are now headed to children across our communities.

We couldn't do this without volunteers like you. Thank you for helping make Operation Backpack possible.
