Get ready to make some noise at our next Community Connections activity!

Caregivers and children will work together to turn everyday recycled items like cans, plastic bottles, boxes and paper towel rolls into one-of-a-kind musical instruments.

As you build, create and play together, children can explore their creativity while developing fine motor skills, listening skills and an understanding of rhythm and sound. ♻️🎵

We were honored to receive a special surprise from the Earnhardt family as they celebrated the 75th anniversary of Earnhardt Auto Centers with a generous $25,075 gift to Child Crisis Arizona. The extra $75 is a meaningful tribute to 75 years of the Earnhardt family’s legacy and commitment to the community.

For years, the Earnhardt family has been a dedicated partner of Child Crisis Arizona, helping us provide safety, stability and hope to children, youth and families in Arizona. Their generosity also helped make our Center for Child & Family Wellness a reality, creating a place where families can access critical resources and support.

Thank you, Earnhardt family, for your continued partnership and for always finding meaningful ways to give back to the community.

Looking for a simple way to give back and make a big difference?

We are currently in need of new clothing donations for boys and girls in sizes 4T through 10/12. Something as simple as a new shirt, pair of pants or pajamas can provide comfort and help a child feel cared for during a difficult time.

Your generosity can make a meaningful difference in the life of a child. Thank you for helping us ensure children in our care have the essentials they need.

We’re proud to introduce our new Independent Living House, created to support young adults as they take the final steps from foster care to independent living.

The home provides safe, affordable community living for young adults aging out of the final stage of our Extended Foster Care program. Residents have demonstrated stability, are pursuing education or employment, and are preparing for the transition to fully independent living.

We’re excited to celebrate a special milestone: Move-In Day! Three young adults have officially moved into the house and are beginning this next chapter in a safe, supportive community.

For many young adults aging out of foster care, finding affordable housing can be one of the biggest barriers to independence. This home helps bridge that gap by providing a stable place to live while residents continue building the skills, confidence, and financial stability needed to thrive on their own.

This home creates an important foundation for young adults as they build confidence, stability, and a future of their own.

From her work as a school psychologist to fostering children and serving as a Court Appointed Special Advocate, her experiences have continued to deepen her passion for making a difference.

As part of Make-A-Will Month, Elizabeth shared why she chose to include Child Crisis Arizona in her legacy plans—and what leaving a legacy truly means to her.
For Elizabeth, legacy isn’t about recognition. It’s about knowing that the resources she worked hard to build can continue supporting programs and organizations that make a meaningful difference long into the future.

A big thank you to BMO Financial Group for spending time volunteering at our Center!

Their team rolled up their sleeves to make play dough for our Early Education students. Play dough is a great STEAM activity, encouraging children to explore creativity, build fine motor skills, practice problem-solving and learn through hands-on play.

The team also organized books that will be available to children, youth and families throughout our programs, helping ensure everyone has access to opportunities for learning and exploration.

We’re grateful to Team BMO for investing their time and talents to support the children, youth and families we serve. Thank you for helping us in our community!
