As P.B. Bell proudly marks 50 years of building communities across Arizona, the company is making sure this milestone year is about more than celebration — it’s about giving back. As part of its “50 Ways We Show We Care” initiative, P.B. Bell recently wrapped up a meaningful three-day volunteer event with UMOM, Arizona’s largest provider of services for families and single women experiencing homelessness in Phoenix.

P.B. Bell’s “50 Ways We Show We Care” — A Year of Community Impact

To honor its 50th anniversary, P.B. Bell launched “50 Ways We Show We Care,” a year-long initiative dedicated to volunteering and charitable giving across Arizona. From stocking shelter supplies to supporting local nonprofits, P.B. Bell team members are finding meaningful ways to give back to the communities they serve throughout this golden anniversary year.

About UMOM New Day Center: Arizona’s Largest Homeless Services Provider

UMOM’s mission is straightforward but profound: end homelessness by providing stability and independence. Through emergency shelters, job training, onsite childcare, case management, career development, and over 900 units of affordable housing in the Phoenix area, UMOM meets people where they are and helps them build a path forward.

P.B. Bell has long supported UMOM’s work, and this February’s volunteer event gave team members a new opportunity to engage with the organization’s impact firsthand — rolling up their sleeves and getting to work on UMOM’s New Day Center campus.

P.B. Bell’s Three-Day Volunteer Event at UMOM’s New Day Center

On February 17th, 18th, and 19th, P.B. Bell volunteers showed up ready to work at UMOM’s New Day Center in Phoenix. Team members chose between two impactful tasks:

Clothing Closet Restock — Volunteers helped hang clothing and stock shoes for UMOM’s Threads of Hope Closet, which provides gently used clothing to families in need. For many residents, this closet is a vital resource — offering dignified, practical clothing as they work toward greater stability.

Towel, Linen & Tableware Kit-Building — Other volunteers assembled essential kits stocked with hygiene products, housing supplies, and cleaning essentials. These kits help families transition into their own spaces with the basic tools they need to feel at home.

Together, the P.B. Bell team stocked shelves and built kits that will make a real, tangible difference for the families UMOM serves every day in the Phoenix community.  Watch us in action on Instagram.

How P.B. Bell Supports Arizona Communities — Then and Now

For 50 years, P.B. Bell has been more than a property management and development company — it’s been a community partner. The company’s long-standing relationship with UMOM reflects a commitment to addressing housing instability and homelessness in Arizona, issues that affect thousands of families across the Phoenix metro area.

This three-day volunteer event is just one chapter in P.B. Bell’s “50 Ways We Show We Care” story. Throughout its golden anniversary year, the company is committed to leaving a lasting impact across Arizona communities. Up next, P.B. Bell is already looking ahead to a Christmas in July event with UMOM and charitable giving at its annual year-end party.

Half a century in, P.B. Bell’s dedication to community remains as strong as ever — because building great communities has always meant more than building great properties.
