Back-to-School Drive to provide essential supplies for Arizona children
WHO:
Southwest Human Development
WHEN:
June 1 through July 6, 2026
WHERE:
Donations can be made online at www.swhd.org/schoolready
WHY IT MATTERS:
School supplies, clothing and equipment can cost up to $600 per child each school year. For many Arizona families, that cost is out of reach. This drive helps ensure children start school prepared, confident and ready to learn.
