For the fourth year running, First Christian Church opened their Frank Lloyd Wright-designed doors to host Keys to Change's full-day outreach event, Project Connect.

The iconic spires and interesting architecture provided a dynamic backdrop for this day of impact!

Add in the beautiful "winter" weather, heartfelt community-building, and real-time solutions and services...Project Connect Phoenix was a huge success.

Volunteers from HOM Inc., STN - Social Television Network, CollectivePhx, and ASU turned out to help make the magic happen.

Each Project Connect event is a profound reminder of the strength of community. It's the type of experience that stays with you for days, weeks - that keeps you motivated, and grateful. Join us next time at Project Connect Glendale in May - details to come!!
