Our club believes that we should help support our community by sponsoring several worthy organizations throughout the year. These include:
- Maggie’s Place
A house of hospitality for pregnant women that are alone or on the streets. The mission of Maggie's Place is two-fold. First, Maggie's Place provides for the immediate physical and emotional needs of their guests by providing things such as shelter, food, clothing, transportation and a supportive community. Second, Maggie's Place connects guests to appropriate agencies and resources including prenatal care, health insurance, low-cost housing and education programs. PVMOM supports Maggie’s Place throughout the year with food drives, donations of baby items, furniture, basic household amenities and women's toiletries. Please contact the Philanthropic Advisor for details on how you can help or bring any donations to our monthly meetings.
- Families Of Multiples In Need
- Clothing Sale Donations :
After the sale ends on Saturday, October 14th, sellers will have a chance to pick up what they did not sell. There are MANY generous ladies in our group who choose to donate what they did not sell. Those donations will be shared with the following:
- Members in Need - Any current PVMOM member has a chance to shop and choose several items they need, for free. Prior to each sale, members will be notified via email that they can contact the Philanthropic Advisor to get their name on the list. This list will be kept confidential. Only members on our list will be permitted to shop for free.
- Maggie’s Place - They will pick up half of the remaining items, mostly those geared toward expecting and new Mothers.
- Tatum Church of Christ - The church who so graciously houses our monthly meetings and sales will be offered half of the remaining donations for their Families in Crisis Program.
Additional charities we have affiliations with are:
- Bill Holt Pediatric Infectious Disease Clinic
The Bill Holt Pediatric Infectious Disease Clinic at Phoenix Children's Hospital provides comprehensive specialty services to children who are infected or have potentially been infected with HIV. In conjunction with the primary care physician, the multidisciplinary team is committed to providing family centered care encompassing medical, psychosocial and cultural components of the family system. Their team is committed to excellence in clinical, education, outreach, and research endeavors.
- Chysalis Shelter
