We all know there is a lot of needs in our community, especially during the holidays and the cold weather. But sometimes we don’t know how or who to help! I am part of a group here in Flagstaff called Women Empowering Northern Arizona (WENA). WENA is a local Flagstaff giving circle. You can learn more by clicking here. Through WENA I have met and learned about a lot of local Flagstaff non-profits.
There are so many that can use our help this time of year. WENA reached out to a few non-profits that serve Flagstaff specifically and asked them for their current wish lists. If you know of other needs in our community this time of year, please share in the comments below.
Let’s take care of Flagstaff!
BGCFlag is looking for art supplies, stocking stuffers (toys, food/ gift cards, bus passes, gloves and beanies) and shoes.

Hannah, the Volunteer Coordinator at the Flagstaff Family Food Center is taking donations of pre-filled up stockings for the preteen age. This can include small toys, hats, gloves, and gift cards. Or if you’d like to help a specific family, please contact Hannah directly at [email protected].
Items for the Flagstaff Family Food Center can be delivered to 1903 N. 2nd St. (The kitchen across the street from La Fonda’s).
FSS needs toilet paper and adult sized socks. You can drop off items at 4185 E Huntington Dr, Flagstaff, AZ 86001.
Also please keep in mind the Flagstaff Tax Credit. Donors can go to www.flagstafftaxcredit.org to get to the Flagstaff Tax Credit Coalition website. From there you can make one online, secure donation and split their donation among qualified local charities. One donation and you can share the love! The online donation portal is run by the Arizona Community Foundation, so donors can know it’s secure.
