Nothing better than our community coming together for those in need!

An impaired driver crashed into an apartment building, displacing two families with young children. Due to the immense damage, the families were unable to grab any of their belongings, leaving them with nothing but the clothes on their backs. The City of Phoenix Housing Department was able to get them into nearby vacant units, but they were without anything else. Phoenix PD's Central City Precinct Community Action Officer squad immediately began working on gathering donations. With help from Phoenix Law Enforcement Association, PPSLA - Phoenix Police Sergeants and Lieutenants Association, the City of Phoenix, AZ USA Office of Homeless Solutions, Angels on Patrol, Chick-fil-A 7th Ave. & Roosevelt and Phoenix Revitalization Corporation, they were able to get groceries, household items, toiletries, clothing and gift cards for additional help to help them get back on their feet. The officers also helped one of the families search for and find their cat that was lost in the damage!

Grateful for our partners for coming together to help make a tough situation a little easier.
