The Goodyear Fill-A-Need program is gearing up to brighten the holiday season by helping connect families in need with the generous gifts and donations made available through a cooperative effort administered by city of Goodyear employees, and includes various partnerships with the local businesses, schools, non-profit organizations, and residents.  

In the fall of each year, the city receives referrals of families in need from school, neighbors, public safety, and other partners. The program primarily focuses on providing items for children that parents are unable to provide such as clothing, school supplies, and toys. Food and common household items such as toiletries and cleaning supplies are also provided. 

To learn more about the Fill-a-Need program please call 623-882-7765.

To apply to the program, fill out an application by clicking HERE or by picking up an application in person at City Hall. To be eligible you must be a Goodyear resident.
