The Anchor House Winter Giving
November - December 2016
The DV elves had a great time this winter during our 2016 Holiday Giving Program benefitting the residents of The Anchor House. The 2016 Program included purchasing wish list gifts and household items for five moms and their young children, stuffing stockings, and putting up holiday decorations indoors and outdoors at the residence. We really enjoyed spending time decorating with the moms and children, as well as shopping and wrapping the presents and delivering them on December 21, 2016.
The Anchor House in Phoenix, AZ,
is a safe, supportive home for single moms and their children to receive hope
and healing. They incorporate a unique approach where residents live as a
community; moms, children and house parents share a home and live life
alongside one another. Residents eat meals together, participate in chores,
help each other in times of need, and celebrate achievements. Living at the
Anchor House is like being part of a family. Every woman and child has social
and spiritual support from the Anchor Community as an extended family to lean
on and be encouraged by.

Winter Wonderland Donation Drive & DV Volunteer Day
December 2014
Dudley Ventures collected over 100 new toys, small
household items and personal gifts for the
Phoenix Rescue Mission’s 2014 Winter Wonderland Event. This annual community
event included bounce houses, crafts, snacks, and a visit from Santa, as well
as a holiday store where moms and dads are able to pick gifts out for their
children at no expense. Children are able to participate as well and buy and
wrap small gifts for their parents. DV employees were able to volunteer at this
event, helping parents and children pick out gifts and manning the wrapping station!
The Phoenix
Rescue Mission is a local charity that serves as a place of hope, healing, and
new beginnings for men, women and children in our community struggling with
homelessness, addiction, and trauma. Offering a hot meal, a warm shower, clean
clothing and words of encouragement are often the start of a new life. They provide
social services and programs to men and women for stability, recovery and
independence.
