Coordinator of Service Expansion
 
 
 
In partnership with GOYFF, Helen’s Hope Chest (HHC) engages the community to provide for the basic needs of children and teens in foster and kinship care. Primarily HHC achieves this goal through our “boutique” in Mesa, AZ where youth are able to visit up to 4 times per year to “shop” for clothing, shoes, under garments, hygiene supplies and more. Extended projects throughout the year include a K to College initiative where youth are outfitted for the new school year; JaKelle’s Christmas Box, which serves approximately 3,000 youth every year with gifts, books, stocking items, and books; and our new “Pop-Up” events that serve youth through the Children’s Heart Gallery and other foster care organizations. After the success of these Pop-Ups, HHC’s leadership would like to expand services by adding locations and developing a mobile program that will take HHC’s services to harder to reach areas of Arizona. At HHC we believe we can reach more youth by bringing our services to them using a “mobile unit”, reducing the financial impact of caring for these youth on the families while improving the mental health and emotional security of the children.
