Impact story
Our work touches lives across many walks of life, including Rosa's: Rosa came to NourishPHX after she and her partner split up and she became a single mom. Rosa hadn’t planned to work while her son was young, and suddenly found herself scrambling to find a place to live and a way to keep food on the table. She found temporary shelter at a friend’s house; that gave her the stability she needed to find some part-time work as an events photographer. But her paycheck wasn’t enough to cover rent, groceries, and school expenses like backpacks and uniforms. She later said she felt hopeless and frustrated because she just couldn’t find anyone that could help. Then she came to NourishPHX. We supplied Rosa with two food boxes a month along with other necessities, helping her make ends meet and ensuring that she and her son didn’t go hungry. Fast forward to today, Rosa's son, Angel, is now at ASU earning an Engineering degree and breaking the cycle of poverty that the family has experienced. A food box can be the first step toward reentry, resilience, and a future with hope. NourishPHX helps people not only survive hard times, but truly move forward.
