Last week, the STARS Leadership Team had the honor of volunteering with Nourish Phoenix β€” an incredible nonprofit providing food, clothing, SNAP outreach, and job resources to our community.

At STARS, we truly value every opportunity to give back. We know firsthand how powerful community support can be, and we’re deeply grateful for the chance to serve alongside organizations making a real difference.

If you haven’t checked out Nourish Phoenix yet, we highly encourage you to learn more and support their amazing work. πŸ’™βœ¨
