Sister José Women's Center

Nails. Hammers. Construction. Oh my! 🛠 We are busting at the seams and are undergoing growing pains as we serve more women who are unhoused each day. Thank you to Loni Nannini of the Arizona Daily Star for visiting with us. Read her story here: https://bit.ly/ADZLN #Tucson #homeless #women #summer

AZPM spent several days with us last month. They listened and visited with our guests with the goal of creating awareness for women who are unhoused. We can end homelessness together by providing more affordable housing, mental health services, and reinvesting in a safety net. These are a few essential components necessary to care for our community. And, without volunteers, our doors would not open to serve guests. A special thank you to those who give their time as we celebrate #NationalVolunteerWeek. Please share this video (bit.ly/SisterJoseAZPM) with family and friends as we continue to advocate for change. Thank you to AZPM for your kindness, friendship, and sharing your talents.  

For Arizona Gives Day, you have helped us raise $26,930! We could not have done this without the love and support from our community. We would love to thank the Bonnie Kay Charitable Fund for gifting us a $10,000 match in support of our guests. #sisterjose #SJWC #compassion #kindness #women #pets #shelter 

Arizona Gives Day is today, April 2, and we are excited to announce that the Bonnie Kay Charitable Fund has generously gifted a $10,000 match. Your gift will be doubled until we reach this amount. We are in the process of expanding our campus to serve as many unhoused as possible. Our facility expansion projects are underway and include: Thirteen new beds to provide safe sleeping areas. Larger dining room and more resting spaces to accommodate the growing number of unhoused. More showers and bathrooms to keep guests healthy. Safe outdoor spaces to provide respite from violence. Wellness and education building to move guests forward. Donation center to make the most of our valuable in-kind gifts. Take full advantage of the match today and move guests forward on their path to sustainable housing: bit.ly/AGD24
