Working for a Better Community
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 PRWC members who wish to participate purchase a Christmas gift and attend a gift-wrap party. The Community Involvement Committee takes the gifts to Crisis Nursery before Christmas. Additional donations are made throughout the year.

PRWC collects labels and bar codes from Campbell’s products for the Southwest Indian Schools in Peoria. The schools redeemthese items to purchase education supplies for the students. Annually, the Community Involvement Committee distributes the latest list of Campbell’s products that quality for redemption, then gathers the labels from members at our General Meetings and sends them to Peoria.
New Day is Arizona’s largest homeless shelter for families and the only shelter where boys over age 12 may remain with their families. Founded in 1964, the nonprofit organization receives corporate, individual, foundation 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 that month’s purchases.
Relay for Life is American Cancer Society’s signature fundraiser and is a fun-filled 24-hour community event that celebrates survivorship. Teams are formed and raise funds by selling luminaria, holding various fundraising activities, corporate sponsorships and donations. PRWC’s Relay is May 2 at Phoenix Country Day School. Our event has a walking track lined with thousands of luminaria in honor of cancer survivors or commemorating those who lost their battle, “A Taste of Paradise”, entertainment, a silent auction, a kid’s area and fireworks. PRWC has two teams and all members are encouraged to participate. The Club makes a monetary donation to Relay for Life.
This City of Scottsdale Community Center provides a variety of services to prevent homelessness, meet basic needs of individuals and families in crisis and assists people to maintain self-sufficiency. PRWC collects clothing, accessories and toiletries for men, women and children and donates them to the Center. Women’s clothing focuses on career wear for those reentering the work force. PRWC members may either bring donations to Vista del Camino or to our General Meetings and then the Community Involvement Committee will deliver them to the Center.
