Mission and Vision

At Paz de Cristo, we believe that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. Paz de Cristo serves those in need with a daily evening meal service and the provision of food boxes through the collaboration with many dedicated volunteers. We also provide community referrals to housing and medical care and offer preparation for meaningful work.

Project Description

The Daily Evening Meal service operates 365 days a year and is the only program of its kind in the East Valley and because of it many individuals do not go to bed hungry. In 2009, over 100,000 daily evening meals were provided to more than 85,000 individuals. Paz de Cristo is licensed through the state of Arizona to serve 250 individuals daily. On most nights, we are at capacity of individuals and some of these individuals dine more than once at our facility. The value of our five course meal is $3.90

The Food Box program provides nutritional, emergency relief to families in need. In 2009 this program distributed 20,629 emergency food boxes to families to serve a total number of 87,688. Each food box is intended to sustain a family of four for five days. Each food box weighs approximately 60 pounds and is valued at $65.

Tuesday, 06 July 2010 11:30 - A Healthy Way of Life is Just a Thought Away

Tue, 06 Jul 2010 18:30:31 +0100

First you think it, then you act it, then you become it. That’s an age old adage for change. The concept is that first you have to think about what you want. What do you want to accomplish in life? How do you want to be remembered? The second step is to practice doing that thing that you want. Fake it till you make it. Not lying, so to speak, but imagining what a person who is already that thing would do and doing it! Then the more you practice, the easier and easier that thing will be. You will eventually become that thought that originally crossed your mind.

I’m a weight management expert so how does this fit into living healthy? The first ingredient to living a healthy lifestyle is to love you! That sounds easy but a large number of chronic dieters do not love themselves. So to create a healthy lifestyle the first step is think that you love yourself. The next step is to act like you love yourself. Here are some tips:

Repeat in your head several times a day especially during meal time “I love myself”.
View food and exercise as a way of showing yourself love: a gift to your body.
View unhealthy foods not as treats but as unloving acts.
Keep healthy food available for meals and snacks.
Plan exercise as a part of your normal routine. Set an appointment and keep it just as you would a doctor appointment.
When repeating the mantra “I love myself” notice the little voice in your head that says “I would love myself if _______”. That little voice is telling you what you need to address.

Thursday, 06 May 2010 21:14 - Age Defying Secret From The Anicients

Fri, 07 May 2010 04:14:29 +0100

Behind Cleopatra's beauty was a secret skin balm that you can still use today: Royal Jelly.

By Barbara Seal

If there really is a "secret" to The Secret Life of Bees, it may be royal jelly-the elixir that literally transforms an ordinary bee into a queen bee.

Royal jelly has a rich historical tradition that began in ancient Egypt, where women used the milky liquid mixed with other ingredients to maintain youthful vigor and clear skin. They believed applying royal jelly onto the pharaoh's body would keep him young and beautiful even in the afterlife.

Ancient Egyptians raised honeybees, so they probably noticed that young worker bees fed royal jelly to all bee larvae in the colony. But only one larva is selected to continue receiving royal jelly exclusively as it develops. Over the next four days she grows bigger, faster and eventually becomes the queen bee. Queens live up to five years, compared to the worker bee's seven-week lifespan. Perhaps the Egyptians believed that royal jelly gave the queen the key to longevity and youth.

As advanced as the ancient Egyptians were, they didn't know the science behind royal jelly. Today, scientists know royal jelly is a rich treasure chest of proteins, carbohydrates, essential lipids, fatty acids, and vitamins. This nector is unique and cannot be entirely reproduced in any laboratory. That hasn't kept scientists from blending it with a variety of ingredients in pursuit of products that promote radiant, youthful skin.

Today's Time-Tested Technology

Now, one of the world's top 100 beauty companies, JAFRA Cosmetics International, Inc. has blended this time-tested ingredients with new cutting-edge technology in is Royal Jelly Collection. The products reformulated in September 2008, help prolong skin vitality and help reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

The new product line includes Royal Jelly Milk Balm Advanced, which combines royal jelly with JAFRA's exclusive Cellspan Complex and Sirtuin Activators.

Cellspan Complex combines energizing ingredients, such as sunflower sprouts and myrtle extract,with an Ayurvedic blend of antioxidant herbal extracts-an exclusive combination of ingredients that help enrich the benefits of royal jelly to enhance the youthful apearance of skin.

Sirtuin Activators, found only in the Royal Jelly Milk Balm, stimulate skin to act in a more youthful way.

"What's revolutionary about the star of our new line, Royal Jelly Milk Balm Advanced, is that we have successfully united one of nature's most superior ingredients with the best of science," says Janice Jackson, JAFRA senior vice president and chief marketing officer. "Sirtuin protein enzymes in our skin become dormant over time, which leads to premature aging."

Extensive research supports the age-defying impact JAFRA's new Royal Jelly have on the skin. After consumers used Royal Jelly Milk Balm Advanced for two weeks, tests revealed:

80 percent saw a reduction of fine lines and wrinkles
81 percent felt an improvement in skin firmness
89 percent saw significant skin radiance
92 percent felt immediate moisturization

As women in the United States are living longer, productive lives, they're learning that maintaining a regular skincare routine is a critical step in promoting healthy aging. About 6,000 Americans turn 65 ever day. By 2010 that figure is expected to increase by about 50 percent to 9,000. Most women want to look younger than their age, and Jackson says royal jelly can help them do it.

Jafra's new Royal Jelly collection includes:

Royal Jelly Milk Balm Advanced with Sirtuin Activators. The revolutionary combination of royal jelly, Sirtuin Activators and JAFRA's exclusive Cellspan Complex significantly help improve the apearance of aging skin, makng it look more radiant, luminous and youthful.
Royal Jelly Body Complex with Cellspan. The rich, emollient cream spreads and absorbs easily. It helps provide luxurious hydation to improve dry skin and leave it feeling soft, silky smooth, and moisturized.
Royal Jelly Lift Concentrate plus Cellspan Complex. Within 14 days of continued use, this concentrated formulation of royal liposomes gives skin a smoother, "lifted" effect. Moisture is restored, pores appear more refined and wrinkles seem to fade away.
Royal Jelly Milk Bath plus Cellspan Complex. This luxurious, creamy white foaming bath is enriched with vetamins, milk protein and royal jelly. It delicately moisturizes and leaves skin feeling clean, refreshed and silky smooth.
