At the age of 11, our founder, Ashley Nevison, saw a need for an organization that was driven to make a better world for the next generation. She loves to sew, so in honor of her cat Sargeant, who died of cancer earlier that year, she decided to found Sargeants Army to provide homemade cat toys and blankets for shelter animals.

At the age of 11, our founder, Ashley Nevison, saw a need for an organization that was driven to make a better world for the next generation. She loves to sew, so in honor of her cat Sargeant, who died of cancer earlier that year, she decided to found Sargeants Army to provide homemade cat toys and blankets for shelter animals.
During the Covid-19 Pandemic, she was asked to use her skills to make masks for front line workers, healthcare providers and the homeless youth in Arizona;. As a result she saw first hand the struggles that these kids go through. She also saw that there were very few organizations who's mission was focused on kids, so she expanded Sargeants Army's mission to help people struggling with the challenges of homelessness.
We are focused on making the maximum positive impact in our community by providing food and basic necessities to Arizona's homeless and economically disadvantaged population. We primarily focus on homeless youth.
We continue to honor Ashley's initial desire to help shelter animals with homemade toys and blankets, as that was our first mission.
