Medical Partnership Proposal
Maricopa County, AZ
For the Medical Community · 2026

Care that meets people
where they are.

Every week since 2013, Guarded Hope has brought water, food, hygiene, and a human hand to the most vulnerable people across the Valley. This summer we are expanding on-site medical care, and we are inviting the medical community to help supply it.

A Maricopa County commitment

Guarded Hope is a Maricopa County nonprofit serving Maricopa County neighbors. When your organization partners with us, your name stands publicly behind the health and dignity of the community you already serve, in a way that is visible, local, and measurable.

PPE, treatment supplies, and licensed volunteers.

Soap, dental, feminine care, sun protection.
Food & Meals
Nutritious food and cold water every week.

Medical Supplies & Care
Medical Supplies & On-Site Care
Treat people on the spot,
before it becomes an ER visit.

Many of the people we serve cannot reach a clinic. With donated supplies and licensed medical volunteers, our teams can clean a wound, treat heat exhaustion, and hand someone what they need to stay safe, right there at the pop-up. Your supplies make that care possible.

What we need
Masks & PPE

Surgical and N95 masks, gloves, hand sanitizer, and gowns. Protects volunteers and the people we serve.

On-site treatment supplies

Wound care, antiseptic, gauze, bandages, and basic diagnostics so our licensed volunteers can care for people on the spot.

Take-home first aid

Small first-aid kits, blister and foot care, OTC pain relief, sunscreen, and electrolyte packets to hand out.

Licensed volunteers

Doctors, nurses, EMTs, and pharmacists to staff on-site care during our summer pop-up events.

1 booth

A single staffed care booth can treat dozens of minor injuries and heat cases in a morning. That is care that would otherwise land in an emergency room, or not happen at all.

Hygiene Kits
Hygiene Kits
Dignity fits in a
small kit.

A hygiene kit is one of the most-requested things we hand out, and one of the most quietly powerful. For someone with nowhere to clean up, it can mean walking into a clinic or a job interview with their head held high. For a medical donor, it is also basic preventive health. Clean skin and hands prevent infection.

What we need
Kit basics

Soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, and wipes. The core of every kit.

Feminine care

Pads, tampons, and related products. Consistently one of our highest unmet needs.

Sun & skin

Sunscreen, lip balm, and lotion for the relentless Maricopa County heat.

Assembled or bulk

Donate finished kits, or send bulk supplies and we assemble them with volunteers.

$8

covers one complete hygiene kit, ready to hand to someone today. A pallet of supplies becomes hundreds of fresh starts.

Sponsor hygiene kits.

Send product, fund a batch, or run a kit-building day with your team. Every gift is tax-deductible and receives a tax receipt. info@guardedhope.org

Food & Meals
Food & Meals
Nutrition is the
first medicine.

You cannot heal on an empty stomach in 115-degree heat. Every weekend we serve nutritious, protein-rich meals and cold water to people across the Valley. For a medical partner, this is upstream care: good food and hydration prevent the crises that fill emergency rooms all summer.

What we need
Water & ice

Bottled water, cases or pallets, plus ice and coolers. Our single highest-volume need.

Hot meal ingredients

Protein, rice, beans, and produce for our weekend protein bowls.

Non-perishable food

Shelf-stable, heat-safe items that travel well on supply runs.

Prepared food

From cafeterias, restaurants, or caterers. Heat-safe packaging preferred.

$1.70

feeds one person a complete, nutritious protein bowl. A modest gift covers a full weekend of meals.

Sponsor food & meals.

Donate product, fund a weekend of service, or host a food and water drive. Every gift is tax-deductible and receives a tax receipt. info@guardedhope.org
