From the Heart puts your donation to work every day to make life better for countless Glendale residents. Whether serving meals to the hungry, giving emergency help to homeless families or teaching the arts to abused children, From the Heart gives agencies that provide services to our neighbors a helping hand. To allow your dollars to go further, the BHHS Legacy Foundation matches every dollar donated to From the Heart by 50 percent.
Thanks to generous donations from our community and the BHHS Legacy Foundation match, From the Heart awarded $157,500 to 20 non-profit social service agencies in 2006. If you would like to know more about where your donations go, or to view the list of recent recipient agencies, CLICK HERE.

Remember, your $20 donation, when matched by the BHHS Legacy Foundation, grows to $30 and will help kids succeed, assist families to meet unforeseen hardships, care for the elderly and support people with special needs. Because administering From the Heart is an all-volunteer effort, 100 percent of all contributions go directly to providing essential human services to our most vulnerable residents.
Your donation to From the Heart will make a difference in someone’s life!
From the Heart is a unique partnership of Glendale residents, the city of Glendale, the BHHS Legacy Foundation,
the Quality of Life Community Services, Inc. (formerly the Glendale Human Services Council) and local community agencies. Since the program began in 1997, more than $1 million has been collected and distributed to social service agencies. Every From the Heart dollar stays right here in our community to support social service agencies that serve Glendale residents.
About 13 percent of Glendale utility customers already add a $1 From the Heart contribution to their monthly city utility bill payments. Surepay customers also contribute to the program. Others make their donations by mailing or bringing a check or money order in any amount made out to From the Heart to the City of Glendale’s Customer Service Office on the first floor of the City Hall Complex located at 5850 West Glendale Avenue, Glendale, Arizona 85301.

Our largest single contribution came from a Phoenix resident who read about the program and thought it deserved her support.
Each year BHHS Legacy sets aside $75,000 in matching funds for From the Heart. In 2006, the match was $52,500. From the Heart’s goal is to make 2007 our very best year and the first of many years in which we obtain the entire $75,000 BHHS Legacy match.
