UMOM New Day Center is currently the largest homeless shelter for families. Our mission is to provide homeless families and individuals with safe shelter, housing, and supportive services to assist them in reaching their greatest potential. Over ten years ago, Hands on Greater Phoenix partnered with UMOM New Day Centers to help develop the on-campus literacy program "Read to Me." Every Tuesday night, volunteers from the community are paired up with a child and read with them. The program encourages literacy through positive one-on-one interactions that creates a very energetic and rewarding experience for everyone involved. Check out http://www.umom.org/event/calendar/
