Arizonans like Harriet, lived a life that wasn’t that different from yours and mine.

​

She worked at a big company and hoped hard work and a master’s degree would earn her a promotion. She dreamed about where she and her husband might retire and when Harriet could, she put money away for a rainy day she thought would never come. But by 2020, that stable life was gone. 

​

Will you help Arizonans like Harriet today?

​

Harriet was blindsided when her husband asked for a divorce. With her career, Harriet thought she’d be okay out on her own. And she was fine for a while, until she got sick and eventually lost her job.

​

“My life exploded,” says Harriet, who soon exhausted her savings. She applied for disability and food benefits to give her space to figure out her next step. It wasn’t enough.

​

Now, she receives support, counseling, classes, and a food box every week thanks to Waste Not and the staff at Hope Women's Center. 

​

Donate now to help more Arizonans like Harriet get the food they need.
