AZIFM sponsored Childhelp assisting their Victim Advocates. AZIFM invited the community to donate to the urgent needs of rescued children with clothing, blankets and Christmas toys.

July – Children, youth and interfaith groups gathered around tables cutting, sewing and tying 70 blankets giving children something soft to cuddle and hug. In addition large collections of new children’s clothing were donated. 

Dec.- We were able to collect and drop off 200 Christmas toys.  They were anxiously waiting for us as we pulled into the parking lot. They reported their shelves were empty and the donations couldn’t have been more timely.
