Pack Party with Val Vista Lakes Women’s Club

September 29, 2015 By Alana Roberts Leave a Comment

I am pleased and honored to have been invited to present Packs For Prosperity to the Val Vista Lakes Women’s Club (VVLWC) in Gilbert, Arizona at their next monthly membership meeting on October 7, 2015 at 7:00 p.m. at the Val Vista Lakes Clubhouse.

Val Vista Lakes, Gilbert, Arizona

Packs for Prosperity is finally ready to share our project with the community and we will be starting at home in Gilbert with the generous women of Val Vista Lakes.

The Val Vista Lakes Women’s Club is a social membership group of neighborhood women who meet monthly for socializing, networking, sharing information, and assisting the community with charitable projects.  Each month the VVLWC meets and invites a speaker to share a topic of interest.  This year the Women’s Club is expected to hear from four local charities on their mission and goals for helping within our community.

Packs for Prosperity (P4P) has been invited to share the new “project” with the local club next Wednesday evening.  P4P will give a short presentation explaining how the project came to be and then the entire group of women will assemble 50 backpacks for the homeless with basic, essential supplies that they have donated for the project and have brought with them.

Our goal is to have 50 completed backpacks to distribute to those in need within the next several months.

We are requesting the following supplies:  backpacks, personal hygiene products, tarps, baggies, note paper and pens, socks, sunscreen, inspirational and resource information, to name a few.  For a complete list of supplies that we are collecting, please click on our supplies needed page.

Thank you to the Val Vista Lakes Women's Club for us to get this project started!! Share on X

Stephen Gittins’ Stigma Project

September 3, 2015 By Alana Roberts Leave a Comment

A very special thank you to my friend and colleague, Stephen Gittins for allowing us to use his black and white photographs on our home page of this website.

Stephen Gittins

Through the power of photography I have created ways that draw the viewers attention to subject matter that is normally ignored. I try to make images that give the subject integrity and therefore a presence. This is their hope, their voice.

These images were all taken in Downtown Phoenix and shot on film. All of the subjects, some homeless, have the same desire; to become a part of society! This body of work also represents the power of organizations who have made it their mission to help those who are considered vulnerable, get back on their feet and into some form of normal living. This is their turning point.

Homeless Jesus

January 5, 2015 By Alana Roberts Leave a Comment

This beautiful replica sculpture made of resin stone with a bronze finish, was inspired by Matthew: 25.  This sculpture is a representation that suggests Christ is with the most marginalized in our society. The Christ figure is shrouded in a blanket; the only indication that it is Jesus is the visible wounds on the feet. The life-size version of the work installed on the grounds of Ascension Lutheran Church in Paradise Valley, Arizona, has enough room for someone to sit on the bench.

You may purchase a replica by clicking here.  Profits from the sales of the replica go towards feeding the homeless in Phoenix, Arizona.
