Why It Matters

Families face additional financial burdens during the holidays, making it challenging to provide essential school supplies for their children. The Holiday Build-A-Kit event aims to alleviate that burden and reduce the number of children being left without the tools they need to succeed in the classroom while boosting student engagement and confidence.

It's thought by many that back-to-school shopping is done; however, countless students went to school with no supplies, and they will also need supplemental supplies year-round.

The 'Build-A-Kit' Initiative

At the heart of the event is the Build-A-Kit initiative, where volunteers will assemble essential school supplies for students in need. These kits, customized starting at PreK through high school, will include items like notebooks, pens, pencils, and other school essentials.

Local Metro Phoenix News outlets are invited to cover the event in person.
