Look at the incredible impact we can have when our community comes together! 🙌 We are so proud to partner with amazing local groups like Five Voices and the Viola Startzman Clinic to help get basic necessities into the hands of those who need them most.

Serving 200 families recently, and over 600 people back in February, is a beautiful reminder of the power of community care. Thank you to every single volunteer who showed up to make this happen! 🌟

“No one’s perfect. Everyone struggles. Some just hide it better.”

That’s something Joe Messner has learned in his 31 years at Anazao. As a mental health and substance use counselor, Joe works with people from 7 to 91 years old. No matter their age or background, one thing stays the same: everyone is carrying something. Joe believes therapy isn’t about fixing broken people. It’s about honest conversations that help you chart a new course.

We’re grateful for the steady, grounded presence he brings to our community.
