Helping Others Together (HOT Community Foundation) is an AZ 501(c)(3) non-for-profit organization founded in 2019 by a group of philanthropic-minded women in the West Valley of Phoenix. Last year, we offered help and hope to 57 children and 17 families through our Sugar Plum Fairies holiday giving initiative. With grants to other local charities, such as the New Life Center, our reach extends to even more community members in need. HOT also made and donated close to 14,000 masks for essential and non-essential workers during the COVID epidemic.
This year, our hope is to raise $30,000 so that we can provide Christmas for 100 children of the West Valley. When families are struggling, even the smaller kindnesses offer hope, especially during the holiday season. HOT steps in to create magical Christmases by providing gifts of clothing, hygiene essentials, and toys, as well as gift baskets and grocery gift cards for the families. We work with local school districts and other organizations to identify the families who need our help the most.
