60 years of AZCEND

Celebrate the past. Strengthen today. Build the next 60 years.

Today we’re honoring 60 years of AZCEND—60 years of neighbors helping neighbors so that no one is left to face their crisis alone.

For 60 years, neighbors struggling with hunger, poverty, and homelessness have turned to AZCEND because people like you chose to care. We’re honoring that legacy while building what comes next: a stronger, continually responsive and more sustainable safety net for our community.
