Mike McQuaid I Am Home Breakfast

2019 Breakfast

Event Summary

Great Success!

On Friday morning, December 13th, we heard success stories from individuals who made their unique journeys home; they each shared their gratitude for all of the staff and services on the Campus. Executive Director Amy Schwabenlender updated everyone on the State of the Campus and provided a glimpse of the “2.0” vision, including a strengthened partnership with the ASU Watts College of Public Service and Community Solutions. Amy also recognized our clients, staff, partners, and volunteers for all they do in ending homelessness. Andre House received the Mike McQuaid Collaboration Award. Mike McQuaid, past Board President and Board member, thanked the Garcia Family Foundation for their very generous multi-year pledge to the Campus, as well as Avondale Toyota, Thunderbirds Charities, and many others who have been long-term supporters of the Campus and our partners. Mike also introduced new Board President, Jonathan Koppell. Jonathan provided a passionate explanation of the need for more shelters beds on the Campus and urged everyone to come together and help with the respective zoning permit change, anticipated to be voted on this spring. We are so grateful for all who make this event and all of these successes possible!
