PHOENIX — Phoenix Rescue Mission is calling on the community to help with its annual Back-to-School Community Event coming up in July!
Phoenix Rescue Mission Warehouse coordinator Kaesie Carroll says inflation has been especially hard for families to keep up with and more families are needing to reach out for help.
The nonprofit is hoping to help more than 600 children get ready for the new school year.
They're looking for new:
- Backpacks
- Gym shoes
- Writing utensils
- School uniforms
- Hygiene items
- And more!
A full list of items needed can be found here.
