Giving Back
Here at Garrison Agency, we believe in community. One of the driving forces that you’ll see in anything we do is a love for people. We believe that every person deserves the same grace, dignity, and compassion that we’ve been fortunate to receive in our lives and in our business. We wouldn’t be where we are without standing on the shoulders of greater men and women who helped get us here and we are so grateful.
That’s why we believe in giving back.
Nikki is the co-founder of a local organization called AZ Blessing Bags, a group of volunteers that assembles kits of everyday essentials for the homeless. They partner with local Phoenix non-profits to extend the love. Each time they meet, their goal is to assemble 500+ blessing bags for the homeless.
We also donate 10% of our profits each month to various charitable organizations. This is one that we debated sharing publicly, because we don’t ever want to come across as one of those, “look at how great we are” businesses. But, we figure the best way to maximize the impact for these organizations that we care about is to share them in hopes that others will do the same.
Here are some of our favorite organizations that we’ve supported recently:
Justa Center
Justa Center provides life-sustaining resources, services, and support to assist homeless seniors on their path back to housing, and supportive services to help prevent seniors from becoming homeless.
Love Beyond Walls
Love Beyond Walls was established by Terence and Cecilia Lester with the simple idea that those struggling with poverty have lives and stories that are just as valuable and deserving of dignity as ours.
The Bismack Biyombo Foundation
We’ve always been big Phoenix Suns fans. We’re proud to support Bismack's foundation that exists to propel the belief that the opportunities we receive aren’t intended for our benefit alone; they are meant to be multiplied through the lives of others.
