Crisis Nursery is a shelter for abused, neglected or homeless children, newborn to 11 years old. The shelter can house 42 children and since 1977 has provided hope, support and opportunities to over 14,000 children and their families. In December Paradise Republican Women's Club members who wish to participate purchase a Christmas gift and attend a gift-wrap party. The Caring for America committee takes the gifts to Crisis Nursery before Christmas. Additional donations are made during the year.
HUD-VASH PROGRAM
After searching options
to help women veterans, the CFA Committee has selected the HUD-VASH Program
(Department of Housing and Urban
Development and the Department of Veterans Affairs Supported
Housing). The program goals include promoting maximal Veteran
recovery and independence to sustain permanent housing in the community.

New
Day Centers is Arizona's largest homeless shelter for families and the
only shelter where boys over age 12 may remain with their families.
Founded in 1994, the non-profit organization receives corporate,
individual and government support. Each month a wish list of various
necessities is received, a basket is passed at the General Meetings and
whoever wishes to donate money does so for the month's purchases.
