We are working moms and dads, teens and retirees, we are the people who believe in caring for others during their tough times and giving them a helping hand up in the face of poverty.

We believe that no matter the situation, each individual should have hope and dignity when facing the extreme adversity that life hands us. We believe that each piece of clothing, each piece of food, each item received is one-by-one changing the world for good.

Who we are.

NourishPHX is a nonprofit (501c3) organization that operates will a small staff and a volunteer Board of Directors.   Our daily volunteers assist with much of the day-to-day work of the organization helping in the food pantry, clothing closet, and in many other ways to help the community with basic needs and self-sufficiency.

We also partner with other nonprofit organizations to create a central community hub of services that anyone can access at our location.  Everything from vaccinations to pet services are available.  Please see our Events Page for monthly workshops and classes.   All services offered are free!
