A New Leaf’s Blooming Acres has transformed three vacant acres into a vibrant community farm operated by individuals with developmental disabilities. Our clients are paid a wage for their work and are involved in all farming processes – from planting seeds to cultivating the crops to harvesting the produce to delivering the product to consumers. Community members and businesses are encouraged to purchase a share of the growing season. In return, the consumer receives fresh, local produce delivered on a weekly basis by clients at A New Leaf. In addition, Blooming Acres donates fresh produce each season to partnering organizations fighting hunger in our community. In 2016, Blooming Acres grew more than 2,200 pounds of produce and donated 1,100 pounds to partnering food banks and area nonprofits.

The A.R.C. Project partners with local schools to provide children access to daily essentials they otherwise may not have. They have created packages filled with items such as body soap, loofahs, toothbrushes, toothpaste, hand sanitizer, sunscreen and lip balm. In winter months, hats are added to the packages.
Domestic Violence Awareness & Protection Organizations
A New Leaf would like to partner with the Sunstate Equipment Foundation to address one of our community’s most reprehensible social issues: domestic violence. One in 3 women and 1 in 4 men experience intimate partner physical violence, intimate partner sexual violence, and/or intimate partner stalking in their lifetime (National Coalition Against Domestic Violence). Domestic violence most often occurs behind closed doors but there is no denying that everyone is affected in some way, whether personally or someone they know. A New Leaf provides immediate safety, support services, and court advocacy to survivors of domestic violence, helping them to break the cycle of abuse and achieve independence and security for themselves and their children.

The goal of SHIELD616 is to provide active shooter gear to local law enforcement. Each kit costs $1,200. This kit provides much needed protection against rifle threats that are commonly used in active shooter situations.
What makes SHIELD616 unique is that they also ask the donor to create a support team who will get to meet the officer who is receiving the donated gear. This support person or team will encourage, support, and pray for their officer throughout the year. This is building new healthy relationships between the local citizens / businesses and the officers that serve them.

Camp With A Ramp Mission Statement:
To create an environment in which individuals living with spinal cord injuries are challenged to explore their independence and physical health through a variety of accessible sports and recreational activities. The Retreat provides an introduction to numerous accessible sports and independent recreational activities in a unique setting. Also, it fosters empowerment and independence, facilitates education, networking, mentoring and personal growth during a fully accessible three-day camping trip with family and friends.
This four day and three night summer camp for those with SCI is the only one of its kind in the state of Arizona. For the past five years, the 50+ campers have been pleading to resume the experience. They have come to rely on, and look forward to the amazing times that could only be had at camp.
The interactions of newly injured and veteran injured have been priceless in demonstrating how life continues after a spinal cord injury and how survivors can be independent and have an active, fun, and enjoyable life. The camp will be helping with transportation of campers and caregivers (and their equipment). In addition to sports and entertainment, they also have medical and technical professionals providing medical assistance and education on how to deal with the challenges of living with a spinal cord injury.

There are a high number of youth who, by virtue of their disability, are at a heightened disadvantage in not only seeking and gaining employment, but also in transitioning to adulthood. Youth with developmental disabilities also are at a significant disadvantage because resources, such as summer camps and after school programming, are limited and often are a struggle for their families to obtain for a number of reasons. These include the lack of transportation, lack of trained and adequate supervisors, and lack of a safe physical environment. As a result, they often are isolated from peers and denied the chance to build lasting relationships. Youth with developmental disabilities are less likely than their peers to graduate high school, enroll in college and enter the workforce. Within one year of graduation, 53% of these youth are not engaged in any post-high school programming and only 14% become employed.
That is why STARS created the Youth Program. The goal is to provide youth and families with tools and resources to navigate the challenges they face as they transition from high school to post-school life. The program model STARS uses is to provide case management, benefits assistance, training programs, and advocacy to families and youth (eight years and older) until 18 months post-graduation through a combination of after-school and break camp programming (summer/fall/ winter/spring). The program incorporates a variety of assessments and interest inventories to help guide participants in determining the next steps in their lives. With a better understanding of what they want, young people can set goals, such as gaining competitive, supported or work center- based employment; joining a day treatment program; volunteering; or moving on to post-secondary education and/or vocational training.
A critical component of the program is the curriculum. When asked what educational institutions and employers look for in young candidates, they cite “soft skills” as priorities. STARS’ curriculum helps equip youth with such soft skills as self-awareness, time management, managing distractions and focusing on a task, how to dress/proper grooming, conflict resolution, positive work behaviors, interview skills, and career exploration and job shadowing. In addition to helping youth establish vocational goals, the curriculum also teaches them to build healthy, lasting relationships; engage in the community; and develop socially, emotionally and physically. The youth take part in classes, including art, drama and cooking, and in weekly community outings where they practice what they have learned in a public setting. Recent outings included Scottsdale Community College and ASU West, where students learned about post-graduation educational opportunities; volunteering at Goodwill Industries, Save the Family Thrift Store and Pueblo Norte Senior Living Community; tours of Costco, PetSmart and Fry’s, where they met with store managers to learn about career opportunities; rock climbing and fitness activities at The Virginia G. Piper Sports and Fitness Center for Persons with Disabilities (SpoFit); and restaurant lunches to practice their manners and conversation skills.
The program is very collaborative. For its enclave experiences for youth, STARS works with HonorHealth (Shea), which offers opportunities to be trained in, and assist with, light housekeeping in hospital common areas. Through its work centers, STARS collaborates with many businesses that outsource jobs (via contract) through a Department of Labor regulated process. These include Cox Communications, Arizona Highways, APS, SRP, St. Jude’s Medical, FloatProHospice of the Valley, GoZone, Brat Haus, and One Lavish. The companies pay for a variety of services conducted by our participants. For example, FloatPro, GoZone, and One Lavish sell merchandise via Amazon, so the youth package and prepare orders for shipment. Cox Communications sends thousands of cable box remote controls to STARS for its participants to refurbish for reuse.
All Youth Program participants are tracked through their Individual Service Plan (ISP), which measures progress in key areas including socialization, cognitive skills, language and speech. The ISPs are reviewed at least annually and document progress towards the completion of goals. Last year, STARS served 135 youth through its after-school and camp programming and 75 through case management. This was a 19% increase over the prior year. The Youth Program is STARS’ fastest growing program. STARS expects to serve at least 175 youth through the program in 2017. We are meeting an important and unmet community need; in fact, the Youth Program is a critical lifeline for families.

A grant from Sunstate goes 100% to the children within the Agency. Any emergency needs that may come about, such as needing cribs for newborn or infants that come into our Agency that day, funds would be able to provide them with the proper necessities newborns need because the literally come to us with nothing. We also like to create backpacks for new kids that come in with school supplies and clothes if they need them. We also coordinate Fun events for them a couple times a year, such as a Christmas Party and a summer picnic. We find events like this are really uplifting for them because they really don’t have much and some really have nothing to look forward to. We try our best daily, as much as we can, to make this trying time just a little bit better for them if that is even possible.

Fresh Start intends to use the funds to empower women to transform their lives through Fresh Start’s Career Services. A grant would allow women to receive individualized career coaching appointments with the experienced Career Services Coordinator, who will help them create goals, identify their strengths, explore different career paths, improve their resume, and create a road-map to personal and professional success.
Each woman who walks through the doors of Fresh Start Women’s Resource Center comes with a unique story. Fresh Start clients face a wide range of challenges: from experiencing homelessness, going through a divorce, starting a business, to finding a job. Overwhelmingly, Fresh Start clients face financial challenges: over 70% report annual income under $15,000, 60% are unemployed, and 25% don’t have permanent stable housing (living in shelter, on the street, or staying with others temporarily).
The ultimate goal of Career Services is to improve a woman’s self-sufficiency and self-worth, so that she is better able to provide for herself and her family. Fresh Start’s Career Services work holistically with other Fresh Start programs to address the intersecting needs of women who come to Fresh Start for assistance.

As Arizona’s largest animal welfare organization dedicated to caring for the ill and injured homeless animals in the Valley, AHS opened the state’s largest parvo treatment center last year, providing the only parvo treatment option for homeless dogs in the Valley. From July 2015 through June 2016, AHS’ Parvo Puppy ICU (PPICU) saved the lives of 196 homeless puppies and dogs infected with parvo virus. Without the PPICU, homeless dogs across Maricopa County infected with parvo would have no chance of survival. If selected for a grant from the Sunstate Equipment Foundation, the Arizona Humane Society will use the grant to cover direct treatment costs associated with treating puppies and dogs suffering from parvo in our Parvo Puppy ICU, helping to save hundreds of lives in the coming year.

Their mission is to bring dignity and comfort into the harsh world of childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
In 2012, an estimated 16,000 new diagnoses of cancer are expected to occur among children 0 to 14 years of age. When a child is diagnosed with cancer or life-threatening illness, fear and shock ensues. Parents and family members are immediately faced with overwhelming decisions and issues regarding the care and well-being of their child. Often spanning months and years, the child’s treatment becomes the center of the family’s universe. The strength they will need for this battle is second only to the fear for their child’s life.
The physical, emotional, spiritual and financial toll that this horrible disease and other life-threatening illnesses have on children and their families is unimaginable – until you are there. Provided by an endless stream of healthcare professionals, the myriad of appointments, tests, procedures and potential surgeries endured by the child and family only contributes to the family’s loss of voice, dignity, modesty and control.
What? Comfycozy’s Care™ Gifts are bright, washable backpacks that contain Comfycozy’s T-Shirts that are specially designed with zippers, pockets and holes, allowing healthcare professionals access to a child’s ports and tubes while the child’s body remains covered, providing dignity for the journey. These T-shirts are in fun tie-dye colors, come in every size imaginable and the kids, families and healthcare professionals love them already!
This gift package also includes educational material for the family, supportive material about community resources and other “fun stuff” just for the child.

22KILL is a global movement bridging the gap between veterans and civilians to build a community of support.
#22KILL works to raise awareness to the suicide epidemic that is plaguing our country, and educate the public on mental health issues such as PTS. 22KILL also serves as a resource for veterans, and continues to build on its network of like-minded organizations to be able to connect veterans with programs and services in their local area. Funds raised through merchandise sales and donations are used to support partnered organizations who offer programs focusing on veteran empowerment, mental health treatment, and therapy/counseling for veterans and their families.
Sunstate has a special relationship with this organization. In late 2015, we had an employee (an Army veteran) try to take his own life due to the severe depression he was battling. Two other employees, both members of the #22Kill organization, invited him to dinner, along with a few other veterans and #22Kill supporters. The evening was a very emotional one, but also one that let our employee know that he is not alone, that there are resources out there for him, and he has since been able to fight the depression that nearly ended his life.
