A team of volunteers work together to help a single-parent household where someone is diagnosed with cancer.
April is National Volunteer Month, and there are many organizations in the Phoenix area where people can donate their time. FOX 10's Steve Nielsen has more on a local non-profit that is dedicated to helping single-parent families, in their time of utmost need.
"It really fills my heart to give back," said volunteer Ashley Vanderlinden. "I've been fortunate my whole life to know I've been making an impact by coming here a couple days a week, once a month, whatever it may be to make these kits and distribute them. It's easy to see the impact you're having. That's what fills my cup, fills my heart."
"They really need these meals to feed the family, and it's just great, you get out here, everyone loves each other, everyone talks, it's a great time," said Jack Berens, a volunteer."We've seen a 45% increase in families that need our services, and they're in a lot more desperate situations than I've seen in the past," said Boyd.
