About us

Thank you for visiting us on City Squares! Paz de Cristo Community Center was founded in 1988 by leaders in St. Timothy’s Catholic Church who wanted to help those in need in their community. Since then, the organization has become a cornerstone of hope for individuals and families facing hunger, poverty, and homelessness across the Phoenix East Valley. With the compassion and support of our community, we have worked for over three decades to provide services that meet immediate needs and promote long-term stability.

At Paz de Cristo, we provide a safe place for people in our community who are experiencing challenging times. Our dining hall, kitchen, and warehouse help serve thousands of nutritious meals annually to individuals and families struggling with food insecurity. We understand that hunger and homelessness are complex issues, so we also provide access to vital social services designed to address the root causes of poverty.

Our empowerment programs and services play a key role in connecting guests with additional assistance in order to help them become more self-sufficient. From showers and clothing to assistance with obtaining copies of important identifying documents, these initiatives are tailored to help individuals regain independence and build a better future. We also actively engage volunteers and donors who share our vision, fostering a strong community network dedicated to making a positive impact in the East Valley.

Over the years, Paz de Cristo Community Center has grown to be a space where people can receive more than just a meal—we are a hub of hope, healing, and empowerment. We believe every person deserves compassion, respect, and the opportunity to rebuild their life. Our team, along with the support of donors and volunteers, is committed to providing personalized support with kindness and professionalism to all who walk through our doors.

If you or someone you know needs help, or if you want to join us in making a difference, Paz de Cristo welcomes you. Together, we can combat homelessness and hunger in the East Valley, creating a stronger, healthier community for all.
