There are many services for the unhoused in the Valley. But Pastor Jackie Parks saw the need in her own community, and couldn't wait for someone else to reach out. She and the members of her church created Community House to provide community, dignity, and hope for neighbors in need.

What makes them different is their focus on relationships and hospitality, They support people in their journey to get off the streets through Day Relief Centers, meals together, worship gatherings, outreach and community events. But they help them as friends and neighbors, not as well-meaning strangers.

That love expresses itself through showers, toiletries, a clothing closet, hair cuts, weekly dinners, case management, and partnership with like-minded organizations providing critical services.

Pastor Jackie has led the movement. She is passionate about people and their stories, and convicted that she cannot preach about Jesus and how he loved people in the margins of society, without following His example to do the same.

The Rescuers radio show provides an opportunity to spotlight people who are working behind the scenes to make this world a better place. These people serve as inspiration and idea starters to encourage others to find creative ways to impact their community, their city, and the world.

Host Art Brooks has spent his career in broadcasting, both as on-air talent and in representing the industry as president and CEO of the Arizona Broadcasters Association for nearly 30 years. He was the driving force behind an Emmy-winning series of documentaries on drug abuse that combined a phone bank of 100 seasoned counselors and history-making "roadblock," as every TV station in Arizona and many radio stations broadcast the groundbreaking show on the same day at the same time. He also was instrumental in starting AZ AMBER Alert (one of two states in the nation where broadcasters initiated the program), helped form the Native American Broadcast Institute at Northern Arizona University and consulted with broadcasters in Bulgaria to help build commercial radio as the country was coming out of communism.

Rescuers airs 5:30-6 p.m. AZ time Thursdays on KPXQ-AM Faith Talk 1360, beginning May 7, 2020. Based in Phoenix, it is available internationally online. We invite you to submit names of heroes you think would be good subjects for the show - just message us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/rescuersradioshow/
