Spring Supply Drive Benefitting Gabriel’s Angels

March 2023

Dudley Ventures’ employees celebrated the start of spring by volunteering at Gabriel's Angels, a non-profit organization that provides pet therapy to youth in Arizona. Staff donated supplies for their ABC pet therapy program, and then had the opportunity to go to their facility and help pack backpacks for their upcoming graduation ceremony. During our visit, we had the pleasure of meeting with Michelle and her therapy dog, Caymus. They shared with us the incredible impact that pet therapy can have on children who are facing difficult challenges, and how the simple act of spending time with a dog can help bring them comfort and joy. It was truly inspiring to witness the dedication and passion of the Gabriel's Angels team and learn about the positive impact that they are having on the lives of so many young people in our community.

We were also honored to attend and support the Gabriel's Angels Unleash the Love fundraising event on March 30th! Over 300 people came together to learn about the organization's impactful programs, and we were blown away by the positive energy and support in the room. We are proud to support their mission and look forward to continuing our partnership with them in the future.

Spring Food Drive Benefitting House of Refuge

April 2019

Dudley Ventures’ employees celebrated the start of spring with a Food Drive benefitting House of Refuge in Mesa, Arizona. The team was able to dress casually on each day they brought in a case of bottled water or a bag of non-perishable food items including: canned vegetables and fruit, rice, pasta and pasta sauce, granola bars, fruit snacks, macaroni and cheese, cereal and other breakfast foods, crackers and cheese packs, peanut butter, juice boxes, and cookies. These items go a long way to support the formerly homeless families residing at the House of Refuge.

House of Refuge provides safe, stable housing to families who are experiencing homelessness. In 1995, House of Refuge acquired 88 homes to provide transitional housing community and a support program to eligible families and they have been changing lives ever since. Programming is focused on five areas: employment & education, financial literacy, health & wellness, life skills, and permanent housing. Case Managers develop an individualized case plan for each family, focusing on life skills, employment, child care, health and wellness, substance abuse prevention, and enrollment into available benefit programs.
