Neighborhood Ministries serves Phoenix’s poor, caring for their physical, emotional, mental and spiritual needs. The Neighborhood Center provides food, clothing, teen parenting classes, summer camps, tutoring and mentoring programs, crisis assistance, leadership programs, and a myriad of other life-transforming activities. We serve over 1000 children, youth and families each week through a variety of programs. We need many volunteers serving in a variety of roles to operate our ministry so please contact us to help make a difference in this community.
