Help Your Community - Featured Organization

OUR VISION

Swift Charities for Children is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the development of programs that generate proceeds to benefit children and their families in our own community. We partner with other nonprofit organizations devoted to child advocacy, in the firm belief that through a concerted effort we will have a greater impact on the issues facing the children of our community.

Our concept and our mission are simple but extremely effective: to raise money for selected, well-established organizations that help give hope to Arizona's children in need through the collection of new and used clothing donations.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Swift Charities for Children can fulfill this mission only with your generous help. We have over 150 clothing donation boxes in the parking lots of Valley businesses. We ask that the next time you clean out your closet and are deciding where to take your donation that you think of us, go to the box locator on our website and find the box closest to you. Swift Charities for Children is proud to partner with the community on school, church and corporate clothing drives and if you are interested in planning one, please contact us. We also are always looking for new businesses who are willing to host one of our collection boxes in their parking lot so let us know if you have a suggestion on a location that may support a clothing donation box.

Swift Charities for Children has committed over half a million dollars this year to many great Arizona children's charities including: The West Valley Child Crisis Center, The Boys and Girls Clubs of Metropolitan Phoenix, Banner Children's Hospital at Banner Desert Medical Center and The Valley of the Sun YMCA's. We are able to generate these funds through our clothing donation sites and the support of local residents and businesses is critical to our success. It is important for our donors to understand that all of the net proceeds we generate are donated directly back into our community. Swift Charities for Children has a very unique mission and is the only 100% nonprofit organization with Valley wide clothing collection sites that allows the community the opportunity to make contributions to a variety of local children's organizations in one stop.
