HonorHealth’s seventh annual Ambassadors Give Back Day takes caring for the community to the community
 
Scottsdale, Ariz. (November 24, 2025) – On Saturday, Nov. 22, more than 100 HonorHealth Ambassadors, including Executive Vice President John Neil, MD, rolled up their sleeves for the seventh annual Ambassador Give Back Day, partnering with nonprofits across the Valley to support families, revitalize neighborhoods and fight hunger.
 
Give Back Day was created to give back to the communities where HonorHealth team members live and work. This year’s efforts spanned multiple cities and meaningful projects, including:
 
Where our teams served

  • Phoenix – At HonorHealth Desert Mission Food Bank, volunteers packed and distributed Thanksgiving meals for hundreds of local families.
  • Scottsdale – With Operation Fix It, Ambassadors cleaned yards, pulled weeds and repainted the home of a senior homeowner in need.
  • South Phoenix – At the Orchard Community Learning Center, teams worked in the community garden, spreading mulch, planting and clearing space for year-round food access.
  • Glendale – Through the Glendale Community Volunteer Program, volunteers refreshed Grand Linear Park with a large-scale cleanup to support neighborhood pride and safety.
  • Phoenix (Creighton School District area) – At Creighton Community Foundation, Ambassadors packed and distributed food boxes for local families.
  • Tempe – Volunteers partnered with Feed My Starving Children to hand-pack meals for children facing hunger around the world.
  • Mesa – At House of Refuge, volunteers prepped and repainted transitional housing to give a family experiencing crisis a safe, welcoming home for the holidays.
 
Across every site, HonorHealth team members brought compassion, collaboration and service to the forefront by demonstrating what it means to care for our neighbors beyond the walls of our medical centers.
 
In all, there are more than 5,300 HonorHealth Ambassadors who volunteer their time throughout the year to support causes they care about, it’s what we do to go beyond expectations of a traditional healthcare system.
