PFCN Food Pantry


At Phoenix First, we're dedicated to helping our community with not one, but two valuable programs. First, in partnership with St. Mary's Food Bank, we offer Food Assistance on the second Wednesday of every month from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM. If you ever find yourself in need of an emergency food box, please don't hesitate to call us at 623-516-2111; we're here to assist you. Second, each Thursday from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM, we provide fresh produce and other essential items at the northeast entrance of the sanctuary. Our mission is to support and serve our community, and we invite you to take advantage of these resources whenever you require assistance.

Kids Clothing Closet

At Phoenix First, we're committed to supporting our community, and that includes helping with clothing needs. We have a children's clothing closet with sizes ranging from newborn to kids XL, along with shoes. If you or someone you know could use some clothing assistance, please reach out to our church office at 623-516-2111 to schedule an appointment and pick up the items you require.

Additionally, we warmly welcome donations of gently used clothing in all sizes. Your contributions help us continue our mission of meeting the needs of our community. Thank you for being a part of this meaningful effort.

Widow Support Group

The Widow Support Group at Phoenix First Church gathers monthly, providing a safe space for women to come together and share their challenges while offering mutual support in their journey through grief. This caring community is open to all who have experienced the loss of a husband, regardless of when it occurred in their life. For those who have recently lost a loved one, the group recommends valuable grief books to help navigate the healing process. Join us as we find solace and strength in companionship and understanding.

Counseling

Resources


We here, at Phoenix First Church of the Nazarene, love our Church family and always want to ensure they are taken care of. We want to meet the needs of our people physically, spiritually, and mentally. Here at Phoenix First, we want you to understand that it is okay to not be okay sometimes. No one should have to struggle alone, and no one should feel like they are looked down upon or seen differently if they do struggle. We love you, we appreciate you, and we want you to know that there is help. One way we are taking care of our Church family is by providing the tools and resources for you to be able to take care of yourselves in a healthy way. We are also providing educational resources to help you in your knowledge of mental health whether you or a loved one is struggling. Pastor Josh’s door is always open for spiritual guidance but sometimes, your problems may be a little deeper or bigger. That is why God gave us the field of counseling. Counselors are a huge blessing to the community and the Church family. Counselors are kind, understanding, and have great knowledge of how our brains are wired.

Within this webpage, we have provided numerous resources for you to utilize in any scenario that you may go through. First, we provided you with hotlines for a variety of crises you may encounter. From suicidal thoughts, domestic abuse, anxiety, depression, to even addiction, we have those phone numbers listed for you. Many of those hotlines are available 24/7 and as a caller you remain anonymous with your information kept confidential. We have also researched the best counselors throughout Arizona. Those counselors are broken down into further categories based on your specific needs. We have counselors who specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction behaviors, marriage, family, teens, and children. If you feel that any of the counselors provided may not fit your needs, we can find one who is a better fit for you. Within the list of highly-qualified counselors, we have also provided a list of some of the top rehabilitation centers for addiction in the state. Again, if any of those are not the right fit, we can find one that meets your needs. Lastly, regarding the educational resources, we have provided websites and videos that help explain how to identify mental health issues, definitions of disorders, the benefits of counseling, and so much more. We here at Phoenix First, want you to understand that what you are going through is not uncommon. We want you to be fully educated on these topics and understand how beneficial receiving help can be.

We want to reiterate how important it is for you to not remain silent in your internal battle. We truly care about you and your well-being here at the Church. Reaching out, educating yourself, and finding help are the keys to improving your situation. You are not alone in your struggles. We love you, we see you, and we are here to help.

All of the resources provided ensure your confidentiality so you do not have to worry. Your information is safe and cared for with the utmost respect.
