Thr Florence Crittenton Group houses girls facing issues including abuse, pregnancy, neglect or violence. Operating in the Valley for over a century, the Florence Crittenton Group has grown to include a school, an independent living facility, a teen parenting program, a mentoring program and a group home for teens and young adults ages 12-21.

On Sunday, May 15, the Arizona Federal Service Squad volunteered to host Make a Difference's Sunday Social at the Crittenton Group. It provides activities each month for the Group home. The Service Squad worked with the girls to help them create decorative ceramic pots using paint, markers and fabric. The girls kept their creations for storing their make-up or pens.

Fun was had by all as scissors went snipping, paint splashed about and laughter filled the room. Activities like this help the girls realize they have someone to depend on, to share their stories with and to take their minds off of their everyday struggles.

Arizona Federal is a locally-owned, locally-controlled, and locally-operated federally-chartered credit union managing $1 billion in member assets and serving over 165,000 member accounts.
