Arizonans for Children, Inc.

Arizonans for Children Inc. (AFC), incorporated as a 501 (c) (3) non-profit, exists to facilitate opportunities and provide effective solutions to alleviate hardships and improve the fragile lives of the abused, abandoned, and neglected children in foster care.

It is a tragedy, in this present time, far too many children continue to find their well being jeopardized. As of September 30, 2005, in Arizona, 9,906 children are in foster care and 5,517 reside in Maricopa County.

While removing children from their dangerous family setting provides needed safety, entering the foster care system does not assure a “normal childhood.” This challenging journey often involves multiple moves, inconsistent care giving, and emotional trauma stemming from feeling helpless and isolated.

Sensitive to the day-to-day needs of children in protective custody, AFC has developed programs designed to help stabilize and bring comfort to their complicated lives.

In addition to the priceless gifts of time, energy and love, AFC provides abused, neglected and abandoned children with:

• Children’s Visitation Center in Phoenix and a second center
  in Peoria that provide a safe, fun place for family visits.
• Toys, clothing and other special needs items.
• Admission Tickets to sporting events, the Ballet, Museums, Zoo, etc.
• New and used Luggage
• Life Book Program
• Special Events such as monthly birthday parties, Days of Beauty, Art day, Field Day, Pumpkin Painting Day, Train park picnic, Holiday party etc.

To learn how you can contribute gifts of time and money to the most vulnerable citizens of Arizona, please contact Kaye at
