Voices of Impact
Real words from those who believe in the mission of Valley Guardians.
“I have had the great pleasure and honor to support Valley Guardians since its inception. What stood out to me immediately about this organization is their ZERO operating budget…..meaning that every dollar goes to those in need. This organization has been instrumental in breaking the cycle of poverty throughout Arizona. Additionally, the help that they provide is quite broad assisting in areas like housing, medical, education, bill-pay, gas and many others. I am proud to have such a giving organization in the state in which I reside that helps so many people.”
