Help bring Santa to every home.
Every child should feel the magic of Christmas morning — and every older adult should feel that same warmth of being remembered and cared for. Through Mission Elf, you can make that magic happen across Phoenix Family communities.
Adopt a Family Adopt a SeniorWhy where you live matters.
A stable, affordable home is the foundation for everything else—health, learning, safety, and opportunity. But for families and seniors living on the edge of poverty, housing alone isn’t enough. That’s why Phoenix Family brings support and programs right where people live.
Together, we meet urgent needs like food and rent assistance while building long-term stability through education, financial coaching, and community connection. Because when people have what they need to stay housed and move forward, everything else becomes possible.
Programs that meet people where they are.
Phoenix Family helps families, children, and older adults address immediate needs and build long-term stability through programs designed to meet people right where they live.
