Duet: Partners In Health & Aging—a 36-year-old Phoenix area nonprofit that promotes health and well-being through a broad range of services to homebound adults, family caregivers, faith communities, and grandparents raising grandchildren—is in need of new office space to house its staff and critical services to the community, including support groups and workshops.

Since its beginning, Church of the Beatitudes has generously housed Duet. Now though, the building Duet occupies requires extensive renovations and will be demolished in approximately four to six months.

“We could not be more grateful to the Church of the Beatitudes for housing us all of these years,” said Elizabeth Banta, executive director. “We are reaching out to local community members, businesses and supporters for viable office space leads. Our vision is to meet the growing demand for Duet’s critically needed services. Duet has the leadership, staff, growth plans and heritage needed to achieve this vision; now we need a new home.”

The nonprofit seeks 8,000 – 10,000 square feet of long-term office space for service coordination as well as service delivery (support groups and workshops). The preferred location is Phoenix between 35th Avenue and 16th Street, and Peoria to McDowell.

Banta explained that Duet is an interfaith, nonprofit organization that changes lives in partnership with more than 900 volunteers, businesses, government, faith communities, and donors. From escorted rides to grocery stores and doctor appointments, to support groups, workshops, and health promotion activities, Duet’s health and aging services bring the ability to carry on to those who are served.
