🌍🚲 Happy World Bike Day! 🚲🌍

Today we’re celebrating the impact a bicycle can make in the life of a child. Through our Recycle Your Bicycle (RYB) program, donated bikes are collected, refurbished by volunteers, and gifted to kids impacted by foster care throughout Arizona.

Every bike donated helps create opportunities for fun, confidence, independence, and lasting memories.

Whether you have a bike to donate, want to volunteer at a workshop, or are looking for a way to support the program, there’s a place for everyone to get involved with RYB.

Visit our website to learn more about the program and how you can help keep bikes rolling for kids in foster care. 💙

May is Foster Care Awareness Month 💙

At AZAFAP, we stand alongside the incredible foster, kinship, and adoptive families who open their hearts and homes to children across Arizona. Every day, these families provide stability, healing, and hope—and that impact lasts a lifetime.

This month, we recognize:
• The strength and resilience of children and youth in care
• The dedication of caregivers walking alongside them
• The importance of community support in making it all possible

Whether you’re a current foster or adoptive parent, considering the journey, or simply want to support, you are part of the story. Together, we can ensure every child feels seen, valued, and connected.
