Partnering for Health
Advance is creating new possibilities and promising futures by building optimal health in under-resourced communities across the globe.
Building Health. Inspiring Hope. Changing Lives.
At Advance Community, we believe that optimal health is a human right, not a privilege. Since 1970, we’ve been committed to transforming lives in under-resourced communities, both locally and globally, through innovative health programs, education, and sustainable development.
From our roots in Phoenix, Arizona, to partnerships across Latin America, Central America, and Mexico, our work bridges gaps in healthcare access. It empowers individuals to lead healthier, more hopeful lives. Whether it’s delivering nutritious meals to seniors through our Stove to Table program, training community health Promotoras, or supporting life-changing surgeries abroad, every initiative is designed to uplift the most vulnerable among us.
We serve with compassion, cultural understanding, and a deep commitment to equity, because when communities thrive, the world becomes a better place for all.
Join us in advancing health and hope, one community at a time.
What We Do
Advance Community is a nonprofit organization committed to transforming lives in under-resourced communities both locally and globally.
In Arizona, we provide nutritious meals and food boxes, health education, and disease prevention programs to vulnerable populations, including Latino seniors and families.
Internationally, we partner with local nonprofits in Nicaragua, Bolivia, El Salvador, Honduras, Mexico, Peru, and Guatemala to deliver life-changing surgeries, health education, and support for health and breastfeeding, as well as access to clean water, sustainable agriculture, and ecological home-building. Our culturally responsive approach ensures that every initiative—from nutrition boxes to building water systems in remote communities empowers individuals and builds lasting, healthy futures.
