Bringing Hope and Humanity to Phoenix’s Homeless Community.

Founded 18 years ago by former NFL star Nick Lowery, Champions for the Homeless is a compassionate initiative under the Nick Lowery Foundation. Partnering with St. Vincent de Paul, this program has organized 68 super celebrity volunteer events to provide essential support and foster a sense of community for the homeless population in Phoenix.

By distributing meals, clothing, and gift cards, and by showing genuine care, Champions for the Homeless brings a human face to those experiencing homelessness. Nick Lowery’s dedication through this foundation not only meets immediate needs but also delivers a powerful message of love, hope, and belonging to individuals who often feel marginalized. With the increasing number of people without homes in Maricopa County, the impact of these events has become even more significant, offering vital assistance and reaffirming that everyone matters in the fabric of society.

A message from Nick Lowery

On Thanksgiving, St. Vincent de Paul giving a hot meal to those in need

During Thanksgiving Day, a number of former NFL players gathered to help those in need during the annual Champions for the Homeless event.

“We have a doubling of homeless, especially among elderly homeless,” said Nick Lowery, a Hall of Fame kicker who once played for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Lowery was one of several retired NFL players in Phoenix this holiday week, with a goal of helping those without a home this holiday season.

“When we find a way to help one person, it changes the chemistry in our brain, and we all have ability to make a difference,” said Lowery. “When you see people feeling safe and loved and understood and respected, those other layers just disappear, and they all have individual stories. I think Thanksgiving has really gotten away from what it’s really about: expressing gratitude and love. That’s what it is about.”

18 years putting a human face on the homeless, changing Phoenix Arizona 1 person at a time.

The Nick Lowery Foundation partnered with Nancy Perry Productions, Lisa Nico Productions, and the City of Glendale to administer more than 100 COVID-19 antibody tests to Veterans and City Employees for free at the Glendale Civic Center.
