Giving Meters
The “Giving Meters” are repurposed parking meters decorated by local artists, which allow pedestrians to donate money that will help make sustainable changes in the lives of those experiencing homelessness. The Giving Meters accept both change and credit cards. All of the funds go directly to supportive services, and are administered through the City of Phoenix’s C.A.R.E.S program. Championed by Councilwoman Debra Stark, the Downtown Phoenix Parthership worked with artists Lydia Quinones, Chelsi Rossi, Terri Petersen and Paige Poppe on the project.
