Our Mission
Our Mission is to aid underserved children and forgotten members in our community by enhancing their support systems; Help build stronger communities by increasing self-sufficiency, self-love and self-worth.
Our Vision
Our Vision is for all children and desolated people to have adequate needs and keeping; living in a productive community, being dignified members of the community.
Our Values
We believe in the value of integrity, respect, acceptance, appreciation, and love for every human being and in working with those in need in a way that reflects our values.
Our Focus
We work to help provide stabilization and reintegration into our society for all children, young adults, struggling families and the elderly in Phoenix, Arizona.
We provide much-needed beds and basic furniture pieces to help citizens have a comfortable home. Also, by working closely with organizations throughout the valley we are helping alleviate the burden on residents that have been displaced by the current Covid-19 pandemic crisis.
We share our resources when a child, adult, or family is referred to us by their school, church, or counselor, we make every effort possible to help them as much as we can.
The Basics for Phoenix helps a number of different low income or impoverished people groups have beds, basic furniture needs and helping them succeed in our communities by providing resources on a case by case basis.

THE BASICS FOR PHOENIX IS NOT A DIRECT SERVICE PROVIDER
The Basics for Phoenix is not open to the general public. Instead, we work directly with family and social service representatives within organizations to help identify the most vulnerable members in our communities. These organizations identify and refer individuals and families that are in true hardship situations.
While some organizations qualify people based on income, citizenship status, housing situation, or other parameters, The Basics for Phoenix is different. We are open to serve the most underprivilege and underserved members in our communities regardless of income level, citizenship status, or other parameters. The only qualification that must exist in the eyes of the referring party (school or social services representative) is a true need for assistance.
The Basics for Phoenix is a 501c3 federally exempt charitable organization. Donations made may be tax deductible.
