Tempe Community Action Agency

Tempe Community Action Agency (TCAA) helps individuals and families in the East Valley build lives of stability, dignity, and hope. Since 1966, we’ve worked to eliminate poverty and advance equitable communities by delivering services that address immediate needs and create lasting change.

Our programs support people facing food insecurity, housing instability, and financial hardship. We also promote health and well-being through services that connect aging adults with volunteer support and help families build strong foundations from the start. Whether it’s delivering meals to seniors, providing emergency shelter, or guiding new parents through early childhood milestones, TCAA is here to shelter, nourish, and help our neighbors thrive.

That word—thrive—is at the heart of everything we do.

When people have access to healthy food, safe housing, compassionate support, and a sense of belonging, they don’t just survive—they thrive. Your Arizona Gives Day gift fuels this transformation.

Through Arizona Gives Day, you can support that journey—and receive a benefit in return. Arizona’s Charitable Tax Credit allows you to donate and get it back through your state tax return—up to $470 if filing single, or $938 if filing jointly. Donations made now through April 15 may still count for your 2024 state taxes.

Here’s how your gift helps:

• $938 – Your state tax credit donation (for joint filers) provides 10 families with a car seat and essential supplies for their baby

• $470 – Your state tax credit donation (for single filers) provides 20 nights of shelter and hot meals for an unsheltered neighbor

• $250 – Keeps a family housed with emergency rent or utility support

• $100 – Supports parenting education and early childhood guidance for a young family

• $48 – Ensures a homebound senior receives meals and wellness checks for an entire week

Your support helps neighbors like Gloria, a 72-year-old living independently thanks to volunteers who help her with errands and regular meal deliveries. “It’s more than food,” Gloria shared. “It’s knowing someone cares.”

This Arizona Gives Day, you can be that someone.

Together, we can build a stronger, more resilient community—where everyone has the opportunity not just to live, but to thrive.
