Back to School Projects

Last year’s Back to School project that provided backpacks and other supplies to children at the El Mirage Elementary School was a huge success which we hope to repeat this summer. Once again, PW will sponsor the drive but everyone is welcome to contribute. We will publish details of what the children need and how we will collect the items when we are closer to the start of the fall semester.

You are also invited to participate in the Agua Fria Food Bank’s Back to School Uniform Program. This program targets families residing in the Southwest Valley. The objective is to give assistance to families who don’t have the financial means to provide new uniforms for their children for the upcoming school year. New uniforms are important for the children’s self-esteem and to promote education and learning. In 2014, providing two sets of uniforms per child cost $35. The goal this year is to provide 350 children with two sets of brand-new uniforms. For information and donations (preferably before July), write to:
