Offering a thousand thanks for 2025
One of the greatest privileges of serving in Arizona is being able to work with a generous community of people who care about the well-being of our state. We are filled with hope and gratitude as we see our community rally and unify through a shared commitment to serve and to care about one another.
Scroll below to meet some of our top supporters from the year and read about the impact their generosity had on the community through SVdP.
Over $250K in generosity
There's a million reasons to love Salad and Go
When Salad and Go started donating salads to SVdP during the COVID pandemic, they thought it would take a lot longer than 5 years to hit one million salads donated. It just goes to show how steadfast of a partner Salad and Go has been for half a decade. Their support helps alleviate the hard work it takes to make 7,000 meals every day, and they taste pretty great too. Thank you so much for your partnership, Salad and Go!
$100K - $249K in generosity
Challenge Cup supports families in need!
Thank you so much to Challenge Cup, who hosted an event on April 14, which generated more than $200,000 to support families served by St. Vincent de Paul. This is in addition to the $200,000 matching gift campaign they led in December to help families avoid eviction and stay stable in their homes. We're so grateful for their generous and long-time support, we could do it without partners like you!

The Board of Visitors helps bring healthcare to women in need
Thank you so much to the Board of Visitors for generously giving $40,000 to support women's health at the Virginia G. Piper Medical Clinic at St. Vincent de Paul.

Valley of the Sun United Way prevents homelessness for 14 households
We’re honored to be Valley of the Sun United Way grant recipients! Thanks to a generous $30,000 grant, we helped 14 households, or 34 individuals, stay safe and housed. Those aren't just numbers; they're families with roofs over their heads, children sleeping in their own beds, and vulnerable individuals spared from homelessness! Thank you, Valley of the Sun United Way, for making a difference in our community!
ACF helps shelter guests keep their animals close and healthy
A huge shoutout to ACF, which gave SVdP a 20k animal welfare grant for our Companion Animal Program (CAP).
