🎄We’re very excited to be a part of Light the World Giving Machine East Valley this year! Giving Machines are unique vending machines with a twist: instead of purchasing a candy bar or a soda, you can donate an act of love and charity. You can choose items including sensory and learning materials that directly support individuals with developmental disabilities.
This is a wonderful and engaging way to give back to the community and support LIFE, alongside other local nonprofits. Kick off starts next month, on November 17th at the Gilbert Water Tower Plaza. Thank you for your support, not only during the holidays, but all year long!

We are honored to receive a $5,000 grant from the Phoenix Business Journal Corporate Philanthropy event! Only one grant was offered, and LIFE was selected from over 30 applicants and 5 finalists. We would also like to give many thanks to CornerStone Staffing , the sponsor for this grant. We are grateful for their support.

Meet Chase, a vibrant waverider who brings the tide not only to LIFE but also to the community around him. Through his involvement in adaptive community activities with Mesa Parks and Recreation, including Special Olympics, Chase inspires us and his peers to ride the next wave, with a smile.

Recently, as part of a promotion for an upcoming event, Chase surfed in support of Surfing with Nixon , a nonprofit organization dedicated to giving kids with disabilities a chance to experience the thrill of surfing. Chase helped showcase how participants are paired with professional surfers for an adaptive surfing experience, celebrating the joy of catching a wave.

While the official date for Surfing with Nixon’s event is still on the horizon, waves are building – and Chase is ready to ride them once again, with friends.

Dear Community Partners, Business Community and The Greater Phoenix Area,

We are reaching out to you to share our good news. We have been honored as a recipient of the 2025 Light of the World Giving Machine East Valley event. You’re invited to make a memory and a lasting impact by visiting our Giving Machine. Instead of purchasing a candy bar or soda, you can donate an act of love and charity to our charitable organization.

Please help us this holiday season to help a child or adult with a developmental disability receive the critical programming materials, equipment, and necessary supplies to grow, prosper, and thrive!

Please make a trip to downtown Gilbert this season! You won’t regret it. Our special friends truly do light up our World!

🧼✨ This week in Home Ec, our students rolled up their sleeves and got to work learning how to properly clean and care for our classroom tables! From choosing the right cleaning supplies to practicing thorough wiping techniques, they’re building great habits for keeping shared spaces neat and hygienic. Proud of their effort and teamwork! 💪🧽
