Community Partnerships

Community Partnerships help us fulfill our mission to lift people out of homelessness

Ascencia works with amazing nonprofit and corporate partners that help us grow through contributing volunteers or in kind support, including hygiene kits, snack bags, food pantry supplies, clothing, shelter supplies, Holiday Donation Drives, and more. When two organizations work together to support each other’s missions, they help build stronger communities and reach more people in need. 

If your organization is interested in collaborating with Ascencia, participating in group volunteer sessions, or having a staff member come to your organization to speak about Ascencia, please contact volunteer@ascenciaca.org.
