SEND A CHILD IN FOSTER CARE “BACK TO SCHOOL READY!”

We are collecting backpacks, clothing, and shoes for Arizona Helping Hands’ annual back-to-school program.

Arizona Helping Hands has an annual event to support children in foster care and their families before the start of the new school year. Because children in foster care typically leave their homes with nothing but clothes on their backs, a new backpack with school supplies may be needed anytime throughout the year. Knowing these items are essential for a child’s academic success, Arizona Helping Hands expanded the annual Back to School Drive from an event to a year-round program.

We are also accepting monetary donations for this event!

A brand new, fully stocked backpack helps children in foster care feel comfortable and confident! A brand new backpack is a right of passage every child should enjoy on the first day of school. Your donation of $35 or more will provide a child in foster care with a new backpack full of school supplies. More importantly, it will create confidence that can last a lifetime.
