Kids across the Valley are improving their reading skills thanks to the help of passionate professionals and Vello!

Thanks to a grant of more than $13,000 from Walmart, teachers were gifted with School Readiness Kits and $530 Visa gift cards, and allow teachers the freedom to purchase whatever their classroom needs.

The future of technology was introduced at Boys & Girls Club of Metro Phoenix as the brand new Best Buy Teen Tech Center opened on August 22.

If you are looking for a hands-on way to join the fight to end poverty in Maricopa County, join us at any of these volunteer activities this month!

81% of students who participated in Vello were more excited about school.


“Breaking the cycle of poverty requires centering community needs and co-creating solutions with local residents.”

Big things can happen when communities come together to ensure kids succeed in school. Valley of the Sun United Way is proud to partner with Read On Phoenix in the Campaign for Grade-Level Reading (GLR).

Review some scenarios and find out if you’re prepared for any emergency that could pop up in your life.
