AZHH Backpack Drive

Our friends at Arizona Helping Hands need our help with their back-to-school drive, and we want to give BIG. AZHH fills and donate over 7,000 backpacks to help provide kids in foster care supplies are essential for their academic success, and we are hoping Grayhawk residents will donate at least 100 backpacks to help them reach their goal.

New backpacks can be dropped off at the GCA office at 7940 E. Thompson Peak Pkwy., Ste. 102 Monday through Friday from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Alternately, you can shop from the comfort of your home on our Amazon Wish List dedicated to AZHH. Donations should be made by no later than August 21, but the sooner we receive them, the sooner we can help put them on the back of a child in foster care!
