Mitchell Swaback Charities, Inc. DBA Harvest Compassion Center

With the state of the economy in flux and COVID-19 recovery in full swing our concerns for our clients grow more stressful each day that our community's basic needs aren't being met. At Harvest Compassion Centers, we impact the lives of single parents, out of work veterans, seniors living on fixed incomes, immigrants, and generational working families existing at the poverty line, and many homeless men and women - all, who are food insecure. Half of HCCs clients are children, we aim to create great movement within the top underserved communities in our state making sure kids have at least three meals a day.
Our number one goal is to treat every client with the love, dignity and respect. We aim to show the same love of Jesus, to everyone to is humbled enough to ask us for help. We aim to make friends every day we are open, creating relationships that will last a lifetime enabling real change to take place.

HCC is 100% funded through contributions from grants, private foundations, corporations, and individuals… we do not request nor receive local, state or federal funding. Moreover, our ongoing fundraising activities like the FEED 1 Program ($28/month fills one large recyclable grocery bag with food and hygiene items to FEED 1 Family/month), the Walk/Run 5K, and Striking Out Hunger bowling event plus the many activities put on by our youth through the Serving S.P.R.O.U.T.S (Small People Reaching Out Unselfishly To Serve) program, all raise monies to restock food, diapers and hygiene products for both locations.

Thanks to our continued relationships with our community partners, HCC stretches every dollar so we can buy more. From diapers purchased thru the Diaper Bank of Central Arizona, to shelf-stable foods bought in bulk from our largest food partner, St. Mary’s Food Bank, these partnerships and others make it possible to extend each dollar collected to help boost more family shortages.

With an HCC army of over 2,000 volunteers annually serving their community and a small staff of dedicated employees, HCC continues to make major impact in the greater Phoenix area. HCC's board of directors as well as, their advisory board are very involved in developing successful fundraising campaigns, events and outreach programs.
