Holiday Wishes & Food Drive for the Amanda Hope Rainbow Angels
December 2020
Dudley Ventures was pleased to purchase holiday gifts for 25 children in the Amanda Hope Rainbow Angels Program in Phoenix, Arizona! DV’s employees shopped virtually for gifts selected from the wish lists of children who ranged from age one to nineteen. The DV elves enjoyed picking out presents including arts and crafts supplies, dolls, games, stuffed animals, clothes and shoes. The DV team also participated in a food drive as an additional way to give back to local families in need.

Homeless Youth Connection Donation Drive
November - December 2018
The Dudley Ventures team was
grateful for the opportunity to “adopt” 16 high school students from Homeless
Youth Connection, a Phoenix nonprofit, for our 2018 Winter Giving Back Program.
The Homeless Youth Connection holiday program helps to ensure that local
students in need will have a more joyful season by providing them with needed
items and additional personalized gifts. The DV elves had a truly wonderful
time shopping for each student’s wish list, as well as wrapping and delivering
the gifts!
Homeless Youth Connection’s mission is to raise awareness and
meet the needs of homeless youth so they can stay in school and graduate. Its
goal is to provide homeless teens with host families, basic needs and services
as they make positive, life-affirming choices toward becoming responsible,
productive adults. Homeless Youth Connection provides hope and empowerment for
hundreds of youth in Arizona who are experiencing homelessness and serves over
700 students each year. In 2018, HYC placed nearly 30 students who didn’t have
a place to stay and no parental involvement with host families which provide
the stability, guidance, and support they need to finish their education.
