Still thinking about the incredible Backpacks & More event held this past Saturday. Together we served over 900 children heading into Pre-K through 8th grade. They went home with two brand new school uniforms, socks and sneakers, and a backpack with school supplies. ππποΈπ
This would not have been possible without our incredible partners , AZ Community Impact, The Salvation Army-Estrella Mountain Corp, and the Arizona Complete Health Avondale Family Resource Center. π©·
The 400 families that came through the distribution went home with a box full of fresh produce, various drinks, and dry goods to bless their families. A big thank you to for providing these items. π
We also offered a Resource Fair at the distribution with 20+ incredible vendors offering a variety of essential services such as free immunizations, vision/hearing screenings, and so much more! βοΈ
Over 150 volunteers helped make all this possible by stuffing backpacks, sorting uniforms, bagging produce, and the MANY critical roles that were filled on the day of the distribution! What an incredible west valley community that shows up to serve their neighbors even on one of the hottest days of the year!! π
If you sponsored a child, donated items, volunteered, were a vendor at the resource fair, or contributed in any way to Backpacks & More 2026...THANK YOU!! You made a difference in these students lives!
