Paz de Cristo

More than a meal, we Feed Clothe and Empower our neighbors in need in the Phoenix East Valley.

We help people struggling with hunger, poverty and homelessness.

It all starts with a hot, nourishing meal is served every night of the year at Paz de Cristo. A hot shower and clean clothing give our guests a fresh start. Basic needs for food, water and hygiene are met first. Then, personal, one-on-one assistance helps people lift themselves up and thrive by assisting them with, food, clothing, showers, and SNAP (formerly food stamps) application assistance and other benefits. We provide a lifeline of essential resources that help people get back on their feet.

Who are the people who come to Paz de CristoCommunity Center? Veterans, working poor, seniors and people experiencing homelessness. Last year, more than 13,000 unique individuals were served.

More than a meal. We Feed, Clothe & Empower.
