Action Behavior Centers Breaks Donation Record for Jose’s Closet

Action Behavior Centers completed its second Arizona Hands In Week from November 2 through November 7, 2026, delivering the largest single donation in the history of Jose’s Closet.

The provider of applied behavior analysis therapy mobilized Board Certified Behavior Analysts and center teammates across the Phoenix area to fill 35 volunteer spots with four local non-profit organizations, according to Action Behavior Centers.

Arizona served as the first ABC market to launch Hands In, in late 2025. ABC operates more than 35 centers across Arizona and over 450 locations nationwide.

Jose’s Closet operates under the Arizona Association for Foster and Adoptive Parents, providing foster, kinship, and adoptive families with no-cost access to clothing, toys, baby gear, and daily essentials. During the November event, 18 ABC volunteers sorted and prepared inventory at the facility.

Five ABC centers across the Valley acted as drop-off locations for families and staff members. Those contributions fully restocked the facility’s supply of diapers.

“Arizona is where Hands In began, and seeing our teammates and families come together for the largest donation in Jose’s Closet history shows the heart of our culture,” said Jonna Lang, Family Advocacy Manager at Action Behavior Centers, as reported by Action Behavior Centers.

“Caring is one of our core values. Hands In Week gives our teammates a shared way to make a lasting difference for children and families beyond our center walls,” Lang added.

Beyond the work at Jose’s Closet, ABC teammates divided their time among three other community organizations during the November 2-7 window.

Teammates also staffed two evening distribution shifts at the Tempe Community Action Agency food pantry. Staff and clinicians from the East Mesa, Arrowhead Ranch, and South Tempe Research Park ABA therapy centers participated actively throughout the week.

Volunteers may still join the program. ABC teammates and centers can return to any of the four partner organizations to volunteer throughout the year.
