An Invitation to Give

Greetings!


As November settles in, the desert light softens. Everything feels a little more reflective. It’s the season when we look around at what we have, who we have, and what makes a place feel like home.


Recently, Tina* finally reached a turning point. For months she had been doing everything she could: reaching out to other community agencies, applying to Section 8, following every lead she was given.


Each time she heard, we’re doing our best, but not today.


When Tina came to Keys to Change, we helped her build a housing plan that brought her to a place she could finally call her own.


The day she stepped into her new apartment, she stepped into safety, but also into an empty room.


No bed. No table. No chair pulled out and waiting. She had a key, but nothing to build a home around it.


What she needed was simple: a basic $200 move-in kit. A table. A blanket. A lamp. A place to exhale.

And that’s where you come in.


Your generosity turns empty rooms into places where people can rest, invite family over, or begin again with dignity. Your gift becomes the first sign that they’re not alone, and it may not even cost you a dime.


Giving to Keys to Change may qualify for a dollar-for-dollar credit on your 2025 Arizona state taxes, up to $987 (joint) or $495 (single).


Keys to Change is a Qualifying Charitable Organization. QCO Code 20970.

Please consult your tax advisor.

As the holidays approach, we invite you to help the next person standing in an empty apartment with nothing but hope and a key. A small act of generosity can fill a room. Sometimes, it can change a life.


Thank you for being part of our community as we work to end homelessness.


With gratitude,

Christina
