Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton and Vice Mayor Laura Pastor to Attend
PHOENIX, Arizona (October 31, 2017) – One of Phoenix’s oldest neighborhoods is about to get a thriving new center to support its families.
After a year of hard work, the Isaac Family Resource Center will open to the public, thanks to the collaboration of Isaac School District staff and parents, Valley of the Sun United Way, Phoenix IDA, International Interior Designers Association, and the community.
The resource center will open with the support of Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton, Vice Mayor Laura Pastor, Isaac School District staff, parents and community members. The center would serve as a “community hub” of resources where individuals can obtain support to overcome challenges, create healthy connections, and participate in opportunities that promote leadership and giving back to the community.
