The Women’s Giving Collective brings together women who are passionate about creating brighter futures for Arizona’s children and families.

Their collective impact helps fund programs and resources that strengthen early childhood development across our community. Thanks to their support, our High Risk Perinatal Program was able to purchase new portable baby scales, giving nurses the tools they need to better monitor infant growth and support families during home visits. As HRPP Program Manager and Nurse Julie Kodicek shares, this investment is already making a meaningful difference in the care they provide.

We're grateful for our incredible partnership with Bookmans Entertainment Exchange through their Summer Reads program. Bookmans book donations help support many of our programs and strengthen early childhood literacy efforts across the communities we serve.

We recently spoke with Ryan Dillard, Director of Communications at Bookmans, who shared how our commitment to supporting early childhood development and literacy made SWHD a natural partner for these meaningful donations.

Thank you to the entire Bookmans team for helping put books into the hands of children and families and for supporting a lifelong love of reading.
