Our Mission in Arizona, USA

What we do in Arizona

Since 2000, Advance has been helping communities across Arizona thrive through health education and fresh, nutritious meals for children, adults, and seniors.

We provide health education and resources to at-risk and under-served Latino youth, adults, and seniors throughout Maricopa County. With over 50,000 families served, we support the most vulnerable in our state by providing vital resources and essential, culturally appropriate education taught in their native language – allowing them to build healthier, more promising futures.
