On January 25th and 26th, a community came together for one cause – to help veterans. At the Arizona Veteran’s Memorial Coliseum people and pets from all over the Valley came through the annual Maricopa County StandDown event to end veteran homelessness.
Join us and volunteer to help distribute books and reading activities to kids and families in our community.
If you would like to join the fight to break the cycle of poverty for veterans but can’t volunteer at this year’s StandDown event, or are looking for a way for your kids to get involved, this at-home activity is for you!
School Readiness Kits from Valley of the Sun United Way provide tips and tools for turning day to day tasks, like dinner or going for a walk in your local park or neighborhood, into lessons for your toddler that will help prepare them for school.
Over the weekend community members came together to honor Martin Luther King, Jr. through philanthropy. Activities included garden preparation and building WeekEnd Hunger Backpacks.
Teaching your child about managing money, just as with any skill, will help them stay strong in that area when they get older.
It’s the end of December and the new year is close by. As we look back at the accomplishments we achieved thanks to our volunteers, partners and donors this year, we are so thankful for all of the people in Maricopa County committed to joining the fight to break the cycle of poverty.
With the New Year comes a new you and a new year’s resolution! Here are a few ideas to get you closer to finding the perfect goal for you.
