"Major volunteerism events many times only create more work for the already overburdened social service agencies.  It is the ongoing volunteerism that creates the greatest benefit for all people." 

This is the main philosophy behind "Project 85251."

In keeping with this, we have attached a download Survey of Interest for the people and organizations of Tempe to help in our assessment of the resources available in zip code 85251.

Please fill it out and mail it to:  CARE INC, PO Box 26667, Tempe AZ 85285

Here is our CARE INC "A List" of volunteer opportunities and organizations.

Over 100 leaders from the faith, municiple, nonprofit and business community came together to be informed and challenged by the opportunity and need of the homeless, elderly & disabled and schools in zip code 85281.  Not only does 85281 have the second highest poverty rate in Maricopa County but also is rich in resources of service and volunteerism. This sustainable effort is called, "Project 85281."
