Family Promise of Greater Phoenix, a nonprofit organization that serves families with children who are currently homeless or at risk of experiencing homelessness, is hosting its annual Wines Around the World event 5-8 p.m. Thursday, March 21, at the Clayton House in Scottsdale, 3719 N. 75th St., No. 110.

Wines Around the World, an event that benefits families experiencing homelessness, is a chance to taste different wines from across the globe while providing support for those who need it most.

"Wines Around the World is an important and tasteful event that benefits many families who need support,” said Ted Taylor, chief executive officer at Family Promise of Greater Phoenix. “Events like these help ensure Family Promise has the resources it needs to effectively support these families and get them back on their funds raised will aid in providing services like case management and maintaining home-like facilities stocked with daily necessities.”

In addition to wines from Europe and the United States, the event features a dinner, musical entertainment, wine pull—a drawing for bottles of wine—a silent auction, live auction and a donation opportunity led by auctioneer Letitia Frye.

Family Promise of Greater Phoenix aims to secure a sustainable and financially sound future for families experiencing homelessness—an issue that has grown 219% over the past three years in the Phoenix metro area. Family Promise served families from more than 17 Valley cities last year. Funds received from Wines Around the World support Family Promise’s efforts to develop the infrastructure and support necessary to impact the lives of more children and families in poverty or homelessness.
