Phoenix Autism Therapy Provider ABC Announces Second Arizona Hands In Week, November 2–7
Phoenix — Action Behavior Centers (ABC), a provider of evidence-based applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy for children with autism spectrum disorder, announced on October 22 that it will hold its second Arizona Hands In Week on November 2–7, 2026. ABC teammates across the Phoenix area will spend the week volunteering with local organizations, and ABC families can join in by donating to Jose's Closet, which supports foster, kinship and adoptive families.
Hands In is grounded in Caring, one of ABC's core values; the volunteer opportunities are existing community service events that ABC gathers into a single list so teammates can sign up in one place. This year adds three new partners and welcomes back one returning organization: Arizona Foster and Adoptive Families, where teammates will sort donations and help maintain Jose's Closet, which gives foster, kinship and adoptive families no-cost access to clothing, toys, baby gear and other essentials; Tempe Community Action Agency, where volunteers will support the food pantry during two evening shifts; Arizona Disabled Sports, helping run an evening soccer event and an evening kayaking event for adaptive athletes; and Special Olympics Arizona, returning to support a golf skills competition at Encanto 18 Golf Course in Phoenix on Saturday, November 7.
"Arizona is where Hands In started, and our teammates here helped shape what it looks like today," said Rachel Overman, ABC's culture manager. Arizona was the first ABC market to launch Hands In, in late 2025; Dallas-Fort Worth followed in early 2026, and San Antonio joins Arizona's November week this year.
