I'm a firm believer in giving back to the community, and you can certainly do this by donating to UMom. It's a fantastic organization helping women and families. I was able to go to their warehouse location and drop off multiple bags of clothing. I highly recommend donating here versus an organization that resells the clothes. read more

i mistakenly went to the Day Center instead of the warehouse but I came here to do a diaper donation and did the diaper drop-off at 2107 E. Magnolia Street, Phoenix, AZ 85034 Easy drop off! Just get out of your car and ring the bell! They let me know they take all newly/barely used clothes and new baby items. Definitely check their website read more

Umom New Day Center - Donation drop off site: 2107 E. Magnolia Street, Phoenix, AZ 85034 - Homeless Shelters Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

My experience was in trying to donate goods and clothing. It was not a good experience, and I would not recommend donating to this organization. I tried calling: three times and each time the answering machine was full. I went there on Monday around 1:00 in the afternoon and no one was there, I rang the doorbell, and it looked empty and no one responded, I sent an email while in the parking lot and did not get a response, then I sent two other emails and did not get a reply. What the heck??? Is no one there??? I don't know what the experience is for people trying to get help, but mine was a very negative experience. What a shame because I had a car full of new women's clothing and kitchen stuff. Well, it is going to another organization that actually exists! I drove an hour to donate these items. I am extremely dissappointed. read more

Offered to put my friend on a waiting list but, provided me with info on what to do by calling 211

This review is about their catering service. I always knew that UMOM was an organization to help the homeless, but I just found out they also do catering. One of our events had lunch catered. We were all ooo'ing and ahhh'ing over the food. We asked where it was from. UMOM we were told. What??!! We didn't know they had a catering service! The wraps were delish, fresh and flavorful as well as the salads. And after checking out the online menus, soooo economical. I definitely want to check out the cafe. I'll see if it's at the 3333 E Van Buren address location. read more

A friend was experiencing a domestic violence situation, and this place helped both her and her toddler son. They gave her a place to stay for about 4 months, helped her get government assistance, and also helped her get an apartment of her own. Forever grateful and thankful to them for saving my friend's life. read more

Always always donate to this place opposed to goodwill. Housing is on site. I hear their catering service rocks. Oh yeah, and the staff is friendly too ;) was just here to donate today and was a great experience all around. read more

It is a place to stay but in reality they try to push expensive places on us I am on disability with major issues and my husband works I get disability and they are forcing me to work at this time it's better than the st but stuck in a dirty nasty room that is making me and my kids sick read more

Cleaned out my closets, washed everything, put it in bags and took it to the drop off location for UMOM at a warehouse near 24th Street north of Broadway. As soon as we drove up a guy met us and helped us unload. He thanked us several times and said they would get our things to people who needed them in the next day or two. Took about 2 minutes and I know people will benefit. In short, it was efficient, friendly, easy. read more

I am a recent homeless Vet that was screened & referred to UMom by the VA to their rapid rehousing program. I was put in touch with a representative by the name I of Sondra Broderick whom I submitted all my very personal information to & never be heard from again. Needless to say, I'm still homeless. No reviews are written by whom they claim to help so I have a very hard time believing they are there to help. It's just so unbelievable!!! Beware read more

Adding to the chorus of 5* reviews lauding an organization which helps families transition from homelessness to self sufficiency by providing a safe place to stay, and a variety of programs and services as needed by the individuals and family. I've been here a few times to drop off donations of clothing, books, backpacks for kids, purses with hygiene products for Moms, toys for Christmas, and to read to the children. We don't take photos on campus, to protect the privacy of the residents; some of the women are survivors of domestic violence and their safety is paramount. A mighty non-profit organization helping improve the lives of some of the most vulnerable in the community. They always need financial, clothing, book, and toy donations. Check their website or contact them for wish list items, or to arrange a service project. We will be back for sure since one of the orgs we volunteer with runs regular drives for the residents. read more

My favorite place to donate. This is an amazing community resource! The folks that work here are very kind and compassionate and I hope to volunteer here when I retire. read more

UMOM helps homeless families in need. Their shelter provides a safe place for them to stay and work on finding permanent housing. They also help domestic violence victims find shelter as well. Until I moved to Scottsdale and heard a presentation from them, I had never heard of this charity. It really touched me to hear the stories and they invited me to come visit the facility. After seeing what they do first hand, I knew I had to get involved somehow....so we donated some blankets and furniture as well as gave some monetary support. I am all about helping charities that put your donations to good use and this is one of those who are making an immediate impact on the community. Kudos to the volunteers who work at their facility and help these families in need! Return Factor - 100% read more

Loved that we could volunteer at this establishment that helped out homeless families. We cleaned, prep food, served food, and cleaned the eating area. We got a tour of the facility and it wonderful what they do for other in need of help! read more

I went to Umom today to donate clothing. Upon going in the office I felt that the front desk person was kind of rude. I feel that especially at a place that does great for the community I expected friendlier staff. read more

Currently umom shelters 146 families that are out of work and in need of help. The Shelter is made up of some old hotels. Read to me is a weekly program hosted here that helps improve literacy for the children that stay in the shelters. If you are looking to do something good for the community this is a rewarding experience. read more

I became aware of this cause after my company donated to them. Now we are going to go and wrap gifts for volunteer work during the holidays as a team offsite! read more

I volunteered at this place last week with a a local missionary group called the Mathew 25 Project. It was my first time working with Mathew 25 and also at Umom. This is a transitional shelter for families. We fed around 100-150 people in what was basically a clean comfortable cafeteria style environment. This is a converted hotel/motel in Phoenix and I was really impressed with the facility and the staff was so kind and capable. If you are looking for an opportunity to serve or if you are a parent in a tough place, I would highly recommend giving them a call. Great experience!! read more

Just dropped off some donations. Looks like an old hotel or apartment building that they've converted. It's a very nice facility with a full kitchen, fully stocked thrift shop and I'm sure much more. That's only what I could see! It's also gated off and completely secured. The volunteers are very helpful and professional. read more

Wonderful example of a social services organization committed to enhancing the lives of those they serve.

It's is rare that I give five stars, but how can I not. They help homeless families and low income families. As well, they have after school programs. Got to love those, that help others. read more
