Through its shop-by-appointment boutique located in Mesa, foster and kinship children pick out clothing, school supplies, birthday gifts, and more at no cost. The holiday season culminates with JaKelles Christmas Box, an event in which foster and kinship families choose from an assortment of high-quality gifts. The event brings even more holiday joy because it comes at no cost to the foster/kinship families. Through its final year of the federally funded AmeriCorps grant program, Helens Hope Chest has augmented its support and volunteer staff with AmeriCorps members. Management of this AmeriCorps grant will end in August 2024, but Helens Hope Chests involvement with AmeriCorps members will continue through other agency partnerships. This kind of attention to budget-friendly costs results in more funds dedicated to Helens Hope Chest services. As a result, Helens Hope Chest has now expanded to serve people across the state of Arizona in the 15 years since its founding. In 2024, more than 7,000 clients have been served, with more than 56,000 items of clothing and shoes and 9,000 books being provided for children in foster and kinship care. The need is as immense as the financial relief provided. 1823202 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false true 0 0 true 0 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 11 11 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false false X ALLISON JOHNSON 4809695411 137 E UNIVERSITY DR Mesa AZ 85201 MARK YOUNG PRESIDENT AND CEO 10.00 30.00 X 0 96993 14150 ALLISON JOHNSON CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER 10.00 30.00 X 0 73106 13077 DANA HICKS CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER 10.00 30.00 X 0 64335 9300 GREGORY NISKA MEMBER 2.00 2.00 X 0 0 0 FEDERICK MCCLELLAN MEMBER 2.00 2.00 X 0 0 0 LAURA SNOW MEMBER 2.00 2.00 X 0 0 0 JOSH FLAKE MEMBER 2.00 2.00 X 0 0 0 JULIE SPILSBURY MEMBER 2.00 2.00 X 0 0 0 ADAM GUNDERSON MEMBER 2.00 2.00 X 0 0 0 AZZA ABUSIEF MEMBER 2.00 2.00 X 0 0 0 SETH P MARTY Jr TREASURER 2.00 2.00 X X 0 0 0 PAUL ANDERSON BOARD CHAIR 2.00 2.00 X X 0 0 0 SPENCER DICKSON SECRETARY 2.00 2.00 X X 0 0 0 KEISHA MCKINNOR VICE CHAIR 2.00 2.00 X X 0 0 0 0 234434 36527 0 false false false 1304217 620779 1304217 1304217 0 0 0 659462 659462 680473 680473 338949 338949 11207 11207 19942 19942 19715 19715 720 720 8652 7869 644 139 15002 15002 52819 52819 561 561 2638 2133 356 149 6432 6432 ADMINISTRATIVE ADMIN FEE 65000 65000 48659 23640 25019 1930231 1823202 106021 1008 515215 201193 272647 62197 436 326502 78171 65596 15212 12575 561439 1364949 602467 142151 5683 142151 5683 X 1034862 588454 187936 8330 1222798 596784 1364949 602467 -626014 0 X false true X false X 1280843 1261167 1473241 1495712 1304217 6815180 1280843 1261167 1473241 1495712 1304217 6815180 6815180 11388 5007 6011 16620 39026 6854206 0.99430 0.99370 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 19522 7934 11588 58649 57662 987 12575 true AZURA INC 137 N UNIVERSITY DR MESA AZ 85201 932097814 501C3 659462 ESTABLISH RELATED ENTITY CLOTHING BASIC NEED ITEMS AND GIFTS TO FOSTER CHILDREN 7000 680473 FMV CLOTHING BASIC NEED ITEMS AND GIFTS TO FOSTER CHI Monitoring procedures (Part I, line 2) ASSISTANCE IS PROVIDED TO CHILDREN OF EVERY AGE THAT ARE A PART OF THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM IN ARIZONA.
