Harvest Compassion Center

I am a volunteer at Harvest Compassion Center. I love HCC because I get to help serve local families so they can get what they need throughout the year. My favorite thing is carrying all the food and clothing and hygiene to the guests' cars after they shop. I get to see the food go home to the families who really need it.

Harvest Compassion Center is doing incredible things in the Phoenix community. We have been donors and volunteers for almost 4 years and we are amazed at how HCC continues to keep up with the growing demand of the need in the Valley to provide food, clothing, hygiene, and baby products to families in need. The organization is fiscally responsible, stewarding resources to truly impact the underserved in the Phoenix area. We are proud to support HCC!

I have been a donor and volunteer with HCC for over 9 years. I have always been impressed with HCC’s fiscal responsibility and how they steward every single dollar that is donated.

What an amazing experience HCC provides not only for their guest, but for their volunteers. Both are treated like family when they enter the center. It is clear the mission is to Love like Jesus. Thank you HCC for providing us with opportunities to serves others.

I am a volunteer at Harvest Compassion Center and help to support their mission to provide food assistance to those in need in the local community. Harvest Compassion Centers provide guest the ability to shop and choose the specific food and clothing items that they need. It is such a rich and rewarding experience to work with the staff and volunteers at Harvest Compassion Center to provide food and clothing assistance to their guests.

The company I work for works very closely with Harvest Compassion Center as our primary donation partner. The experience we have had with them has been nothing short of great! I am so happy that we have a wonderful donation partner and are able to help families in need within our community through them. I hope that the professional relationship we have with HCC only continues to grow. Thank you HCC for all you do for our community!

I have been donating and volunteering at these centers for almost four years now. The work they do in their communities to help those in need over the past 13 plus years is remarkable. The centers are designed to be welcoming and to ensure each guest is seen and heard. From the greeting when they walk in, to the mini food and hygiene mart they can choose from needed items, and the beautiful clothing boutique they can select items in for themselves and their families. The volunteers are inspiring to serve with. It is clean, well organized, and efficiently run to ensure each guest in need gets to select their own items, learn of additional resources, receive compassion, and walk out little better than they walked in. All the clothing is sorted, and what makes the cut gets washed and ironed. This is a great place to volunteer, donate needed items, and gently used clothing.

Harvest Compassion Center is truly amazing!!! Everyone is so kind and caring. I’m always welcomed with love and compassion ������

I truly enjoyed working with the HCC staff, volunteers and families. I would recommend this experience for anyone interested in helping our neighbors in need. The positive impact is well worth becoming involved at HCC.

It is an opportunity to serve such an outstanding caring organization. This was my first time and I plan to return. Everything was organized explained clearly. The other volunteers were helpful in making sure I was trained and assisted me as needed. I felt very comfortable assisting those who we were able to serve.

Just last month HCC handed out roses to all the mom's for Mother's Day- they are always going above and beyond to love their clients. I am honored to be a part of the HCC family and continue the legacy of serving others with them!

HCC has a very positive impact in the community for many reasons. First of all, the food that is generously given away is high quality. The clothes are all clean, and pressed. The center is spotless and care is given to present a clean and safe environment. Shopping at HCC is a personal experience. Not only do the clients leave with a positive experience, the volunteers are lifted up as well. It is evident that it is a faith-based organization as Christian music plays in the background, and prayers are offered up regularly. I have volunteered there for about 3 months. It has left such a positive impact that I began to donate on a monthly basis.

I am an elder of a new church started in January 2021--The Resting Place, located in North Phoenix. We selected Harvest Compassion Center as our local charity to support and scheduled an evening to meet their staff and "work" as needed after hours. I started volunteering there 1 Wednesday a month at the North Phoenix location at Tatum & Thunderbird. By the end of 2021, I was hooked and now volunteer every Wednesday. The center specializes in food, clothing and hygiene items for families and individuals in need. Every visitor is treated as a "guest" in a retail store shopping experience. All staff and volunteers love on the guests, who are treated with kindness and respect. Wednesday mornings are definitely a highlight of my week!

I just LOVE what Harvest Compassion Center is doing for our communities here in Arizona! The volunteers who are supporting this mission are so much fun, are compassionate towards their clients, and truly exemplify what it means to be the hands and feet of Jesus! The vibe I got when volunteering was that we are in this together, helping one another in the community as a whole. It was an amazing experience to be a part of ! I loved the smiles on everyones faces! It warmed my heart as a volunteer knowing I was helping bring those smiles, but most of all, that God's love was felt by all from the youngest to the oldest! If you want to "get your endorphines going", VOLUNTEER!! You won't be disappointed!

I originally volunteered here in the summer of 2022. WOW! I have never experienced a group so caring, compassionate and professional. The people in need (mainly families) come in to shop for food and clothing, which they do not pay any money for. The volunteers assist them in the process. It was wonderful to see the food and clothing being provided to people in need. There is another great group of volunteers in the back that wash, iron, and men clothing before it is put out on the floor for people to choose. WOW again! I have volunteered several times since then and have encouraged others to make their donations here as the items go right to the people in need. Awesome Nonprofit Center!!!! Dee

HCC does an AMAZING job serving the community with practical needs. They are always organized and caring and it’s a great place to serve.

I have worked closely with this charity for 2+ years. The outreach to people of need is tremendous - for food, hygiene items & clothing. Everyone who comes into a center is treated with respect and compassion. They are greeted with a smile and leave with one.

It's all in the name - compassion.
As a food & clothing pantry "reimagined", HCC is a place where people can go to get their food and clothing needs fulfilled while being treated with dignity and compassion. Every aspect of what goes into each center is about making the people who find their way through the doors feel helped and loved during their time of need. Each person is greeted with a smile, called by name and made to feel seen for the individual human beings they are, not what might have caused them to find themselves in the position of needing assistance.
I couldn't be more proud to be associated with such a compassionate organization and group of volunteers.

HCC offered our group of volunteers such an amazing experience. The workers are extremely helpful and grateful to all who volunteer. Also, the compassion they showed those seeking assistance, during our time at the Maryvale location, really pulled at our hearts strings and gave us an amazing perspective of what kindness, love and overall decent humanity should be. We were truly amazed of the need and blessed to have been able to work hand in hand with HCC workers and helping the local community of Maryvale. Thank you so much and we will be back!

I served here with my husband one weekday and it was life-changing! We got to spend time with people in our community who were in need. We got to know their story and pray with them, it was so inspiring! We now donate monthly to their Feed 1 program and serve there when we can. Definitely recommend for everyone!

People focused, organized, intentional, fun and well run! Love serving at HCC

HCC has been such a wonderful place for me as a volunteer. They truly care for everyone who walks in the doors and treat everyone with dignity. I’m proud to be able to be a part of this community and to serve others in this setting.

I have lived in this neighborhood for 36 years and I had no idea Harvest Compassion existed. I was looking for places to volunteer after I retired. I am so impressed with everything they do at Harvest. I am proud to say I work with incredible people who do incredible work.

HCC is made up of caring, supportive team members that provide resources to those in need with dignity and respect.

I love volunteering with Harvest Compassion Center! They make each client feel loved and cared for. Everyone leaves happier then when they arrived. Harvest Compassion Center is making a positive impact on our community!

So thankful for a place to donate and volunteer. I know my donations go to the community and care for those most in need. I love this place!

I absolutely love volunteering at the HCC. I love interacting with the clients. I feel a sense of pride being able to give back to an organization as wonderful as the HCC. Being ablento help clients while providing compassion and allowing them to keep dignity is amazing!

HCC is a really great organization with wonderful variety to offer their customers and is led by leaders filled with compassion and grace and a love for God. the different drives they partake in are super fun and I am so honored to be a part of this organization.

Thank you for all that you do!

HCC is a wonderful organization that creates community, serves those in need, and has a unique way of providing opportunities for connection.

I cant say enough about how amazing harvest compassion center is! I have been volunteering for a few months now and it has become one of my favorite things I do every week. All the volunteers and workers are such great people and so much fun to be around. They treat the guests like family and are so comforting. The work HCC does to help the community warms my heart and I’m so happy to be apart of it.

I started volunteering at HCC this February and I couldn’t be more pleased to come in and serve. Staff set a great up beat tone at huddle before shift by reminding us all that we are here to pull a smile on our families’ faces. It is at the core of each center to provide a clean and friendly environment where families in need feel loved and supported by their community. You would never feel you were at a food bank and our repeat families are a testament to that love, dignity and respect HCC seeks to have at the core of their centers.

My wife and I have been a monthly FEED1 partner for 3 years. We love donating to HCC knowing that our donation feeds 2 families every month. They are great about showing the impact that they have in the community and our family is honored to be a part of this organization and the good work that they do.

I am very impressed with the wonderful work that Harvest Compassion Center does in our communities! They are an outstanding partner and make invaluable contributions to help those in need. I am proud to support this organization, both through volunteering and through donating.

It is a privilege to have the opportunity to volunteer at Harvest Compassion Center at the North Phoenix location. My husband and I are retired and desired to help out at a local organization. We fortunately found HCC and are very happy to be a small part of this spectacular nonprofit ministry.
Foremost & of most importance, HCC believes in treating each and every client with respect and dignity. This philosophy starts at the top of the chain and trickles to every volunteer, regardless of age or length of volunteer experience. From greeting them at the door, presenting an immaculate building, a fun play area for children, giving them gentle sensitive attention and being sincerely happy to have them stop by, each person who serves here has a fabulous giving attitude. Also, there is always a volunteer available to help with translation.
HCC is organized in such a way that volunteers of any age or commitment level can hop right in and feel as though they are not only making a contribution, but appreciated as well. HCC is the best place to be a volunteer because of the consistent management and clear protocols.
The care that is given to donations is impressive.
The food market is organized and immaculate. The clients can pick their own groceries and toiletries which in turn gets packed by the staff.
Next, there is a boutique where clients "shop" in an environment of nicely organized clothes, shoes and accessories (freshly laundered, pressed), separated clearly by sizes and with matching hangers and size tags. We are very selective as to which clothes and shoes that we keep and this gives the clients fantastic selections from our generous donors. I am proud to show our clients around and treat them as though they are in a nice little boutique. We gently wrap the clothes and assist them out to their cars or to their modes of transportation.
All of this is without cost or fees to the clients and their families. I am certain that each person feels like they have been treated with respect and without judgment.
I am proud to be a volunteer at Harvest Compassion Center. We leave with our hearts full after our shifts and grateful that we've found HCC !!!!

HCC is one top-notch non-profit! Volunteering there for over 8 years, I've witnessed countless ways in which this organization blesses all people walking through its doors for assistance. Guests are treated with such dignity, they are prayed for, and quickly become part of what I call 'the family' at HCC. One of my favorite parts is seeing the guests when they learn THEY get to CHOOSE the grocery/clothing items they may need that particular month.

I love HCC because they treat everyone with heart and compassion. Everyone there is dedicated to their purpose and community.

Harvest Compassion Center is an amazing resource for food, clothing, and hygiene items but it is so much more than a local food and clothing bank. It is a place where every person is valued, treated with dignity, shown compassion, and loved. There is no better place to receive needed items, volunteer, and donate. HCC is about neighbors helping neighbors, communities helping communities. The volunteers are the best I’ve ever known. They serve guests with genuine care and love.

Knowing first hand what it’s like to have financial struggles the “extra items” toiletries, clothing, diapers and more that HCC has to offer is sooo helpful and can often make all the difference! I love that HCC is a place of no judgement and smiling faces where guests can feel comfortable sharing their struggles and needs.  I’m always in awe each time God provides through a donated item given just hours before a guest comes in requesting it!  

The greatest food bank out there. They really care for the people and give them dignity by letting them choose the products they actually need. Everyone is so friendly and truly love their guests .

HCC is a wonderful food and clothing bank. The volunteer staff is kind and friendly making the visit very enjoyable for all its guests. The product provided is great quality. I would highly recommend using this food bank if you’re in need.

Harvest Compassion Center treats each individual that walks through their door like royalty. I know their name has compassion in the title but they show so much compassion to each person they come in contact with. I personally see them reaching out and partnering with others who help the underserved younger population and am thankful for this partnership.

Wow this pace is amazing, you have to stop in for a tour !!! The way they show love to everyone who walks in!!

I began volunteering at Harvest Compassion Center in 2015. I had small children at home so volunteering during a shift wasn't possible during that stage of life. I spoke to the staff at HCC North Phoenix and they said they had a need for someone to pickup a food donation from a nearby restaurant and drop it at HCC once a week. I was so glad to be able to help in that capacity and also observe the operations at North Phoenix when I dropped off the products. It is such a welcoming environment for everyone who enters and HCC truly strives to be an inclusive, loving place for those that need their services. I stayed involved as a volunteer and came on staff in 2019 as a part time employee working with center communications and marketing. I am honored to work for this organization that feeds and clothes hundreds of families each month.
