Volunteer for La Causa
Are you looking for an opportunity to give back?
With everything going on in the world, it can be easy to lose hope. But if you look a little more closely, you'll see a community of helpers showing up to make a difference. They may not be in the headlines, but they're the ones behind the scenes making their community a little bit brighter.
Here are just a few ways you can volunteer in your community:
- Prepare a meal for a family so their children don't have to do homework on an empty stomach
- Provide support for a woman healing from domestic violence
- Help the young child of farmworkers learn English so they are prepared to succeed in school and life
You have the power to change a life today. And you may even find yours changes, too.

CPLC Community Care & Share
At CPLC, giving back happens all year long. Our Community Care & Share Series is a year-round schedule of themed donation drives that brings together local businesses and community members to provide essential items for the families, seniors, and individuals we serve. From warm blankets in winter and water drives during Arizona's intense summer heat, to back-to-school supplies and holiday toys, each drive is timed to meet our community's most pressing seasonal needs. Whether you donate, host a collection point at your workplace, or simply spread the word, you are making a direct difference in the lives of our neighbors.
