Interested in donating but don’t know where to start? There are so many ways to make a difference at Casa de Amparo!
Our friends at Community Lutheran Church recently hosted a hygiene drive benefiting Casa, bringing their members together to collect hair care, body care, and feminine hygiene products for our programs. It’s a great example of how you can bring friends, coworkers, neighbors, or community groups together around a common cause.
Giving can also be as simple as adding a few extra items to your cart during your weekly grocery run. A bag of rice, an extra box of cereal, or even unused items from a bulk purchase can help provide everyday essentials for the individuals we serve.
Every donation, big or small, helps Casa de Amparo provide the support and resources individuals need to heal, grow, and thrive.

Back-to-school season is here at our Casa Kids Campus!📚🏫

Last week, youth in our Residential Services program had the opportunity to shop at our Back-to-School Boutique, where they picked out their own backpacks and filled them with all the school supplies they need for the year ahead.

A very special thank you to our generous donors and incredible volunteers who made this experience possible. The colorful OOLY - Art & School Supplies goodies were especially fun! Because of your support, our youth can head into the new school year feeling prepared, confident, and ready to succeed!

Having a community that is eager to help support youth at Casa de Amparo is something that we truly value. Yesterday, our Transitional Living Program participants had a baking workshop with our volunteer, Blair! Together, they baked an assortment of cookies, including sugar cookies, oatmeal cookies, and madeleines! It was a great way for the participants to learn new skills and enjoy tasty treats to kick off the weekend. 🍪👩‍🍳 
Thank you, Blair, for coming out and giving our girls an evening to remember! 💕

We are proud to introduce our 2026 Crystal Ball honorees!

Since 1999, the Crystal Ball Gala has brought our community together to raise funds that help children, youth, and families look into their own crystal ball and see a brighter future. Proceeds from the event directly support Casa de Amparo’s programs and services, helping people heal, grow, and thrive.

Each year, we honor individuals whose compassion, generosity, and dedication to Casa de Amparo have made a lasting difference.

We are pleased to recognize our 2026 Crystal Ball Honorees: Mark and Hasty Pidgeon.

🔮 The 28th Annual Crystal Ball Gala takes place on Saturday, November 14 at the Fairbanks Ranch Country Club.

This magical evening of celebration, connection, and philanthropy is also an opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of local children, youth, and families who have experienced trauma.

As a Crystal Ball Patron, your partnership is recognized throughout the evening while strengthening Casa de Amparo’s integrated mental health and housing programs.

Help us create a future where trust, access, and coordination define how our community cares for people by becoming a Crystal Ball Patron.
