Thank you, United Way Worldwide, for shining a light on an important truth: not every disaster looks like a disaster.

In Arizona, extreme heat is a disaster we know all too well, and preparedness can save lives.

We’re proud to be part of a nationwide initiative helping communities prepare before disaster strikes, while bringing that work home to the Valley through United We Prepare.

Sometimes, giving back comes full circle. 💙

When Rhonda Snider joined Valley of the Sun United Way as a Loaned Executive through her employer, Arizona Public Service - APS, she expected to learn more about our community and make a difference.

What she didn’t expect was to see her own story reflected in the work.

Growing up, Rhonda’s family relied on community resources and support to get through difficult seasons. Years later, she found herself in a position to help create that same sense of possibility for someone else.

“I am that child.”
