SNAP into Action
Valley of the Sun United Way is mobilizing with our partners through our SNAP Into Action initiative to respond quickly and effectively. But we cannot do it alone.
“Everyone deserves to live in a society where they feel safe, respected and protected. We can, and must, do better to guarantee the human rights, freedom and the ability to succeed of every person.”

Creating Mighty Change
We cannot beat today’s issues with yesterday’s thinking. Change demands bold new solutions. That’s why we’re redeploying our energy and realigning our resources and partnerships to drive Mighty Change in our community. Together, we tackle the systemic, interrelated issues holding us back creating greater opportunity and access across the Valley. We track and report our progress each year, and we actively engage our community to ensure we remain focused on the programs and solutions that will help us achieve our goals.
Here’s where we’re concentrating our efforts:
Thank you, Corporate Partners!
We couldn’t do it without you! Our corporate partners help build a stronger community by launching workplace campaigns, advocating for change, and volunteering their time and talent. By supporting Mighty Change, these companies send a powerful message to employees and customers: they care about the place they call home and are committed to making a difference. Taking the lead is our Million Dollar Corporate Circle, the partners that impact our community with a commitment of more than $1 million annually:
APS, Edward Jones, Freeport-McMoRan and QuikTrip.
