Philanthropy Team, others make wishes come true at Benevilla

Benevilla officials said they’re thankful for the Marley Park Philanthropy Team, which hosted an “Adopt A Family” donation drive for new blankets and PJs to support the members of their Family Resource Center programs this holiday season.
Marley Park Community gathered 26 blankets and 96 pajamas for needy families with children up to 5 years old.
Others making donations included: members of the Benevilla Lucy Anne’s Place Life Enrichment Program, Benevilla employees, city of Surprise employees, city of Surprise Police and Fire departments, Altrusa, Michelle and Bob Dionisio, Melinda Kelling, Alex and Marshall Manriquez, Elizabeth Trevino, the Owner of Skin Frenzy and None of your Biz, Dentist Mathew Jensen and Bobbie Loverink.
“Marley Park has been a longtime advocate of Benevilla,” Family Resource Manager Aleena Erickson said. “So many deserving families will be supported by the generosity of those in our community.”
The Benevilla Family Resource Center offers free, bilingual services and programs to families with young children throughout the northwest Maricopa County region at convenient community sites.
Resource specialists link parents to community services, answer questions and help complete applications for AHCCCS and DES. Family educators present workshops informing and supporting parents with proven strategies and techniques focusing on child development and family issues.
Other parent-child interactive classes and events help raise parent awareness of the importance of early childhood experiences to healthy development through play, songs, and movement. BFRC’s Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Program offers support and education to this special group of second-time parents.
Started by the community and for the community in 1981, Benevilla is a not-for-profit family services agency dedicated to enriching the lives of West Valley residents by providing care services for older adults, adults with disabilities, children and families.
