Help Us Grow The Verde Villages!

Help Us Open The Verde Villages Storefront – A Free Resource Hub for Families in Need

Hi! I’m the founder of The Verde Villages, a grassroots nonprofit that provides essential baby, kid, and maternity items to families in need across the Verde Valley—completely free of charge.

What started with me walking through parks with a backpack of my son’s outgrown clothes has now grown into something so large that I had to teach myself how to drive a trailer and pay for a storage unit to hold all the items! We have served hundreds of families (and counting!) through pop-up events in Sedona, Cottonwood, Camp Verde, and beyond. Families “shop” for what they need at no cost, and everything is sourced through donations from generous local families.

Now, we’re ready for the next big step—opening a permanent storefront.

Why the Storefront Matters:

Having a dedicated space means:

Families can access resources more often (ideally, we would be open 2-3 days a week)—not just when we have pop-up events.

We can store, sort, and display donations more efficiently.

We can create a safe, welcoming hub for families to connect, find support, and feel seen.

The storefront will be the heartbeat of The Verde Villages, allowing us to help more families, more often.

How Your Support Helps:

Your donation will go directly toward:

Storefront setup costs: rent, insurance, shelving, signage, basic renovations.

Marketing & outreach: flyers, social media campaigns, and community materials to ensure families know we exist and can access help.

Essential supplies: hangers, bins, clothing racks, and tools to keep the space clean, functional, and organized.

Operational costs and staffing: donations will help us to hire part-time employees for essential roles.

Every dollar helps build a permanent resource for parents who are doing their best but just need a little help. Whether you can give $5 or $500, you’re part of creating something beautiful and lasting for our community.

Other Ways to Support:

Can’t donate right now? No problem! You can still help by:

Sharing this campaign with friends or on social media.

Donating gently used baby/kids/maternity items.

Volunteering your time to help us sort, set up, or spread the word.

We believe in love thy neighbor, in lifting one another up, and in building a future where no child goes without the essentials. With your help, The Verde Villages storefront will become a reality—and a sanctuary—for families across our valley.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
