Ms Katie and I had the honor of delivering a van full of school supplies to Fans Across America this morning. While we were there George, one of the co-founders of this great organization, gave us a tour of their facilities. They have everything you can imagine, from gently used clothing, shoes and household items, to school supplies and personal care products.
George told us that this school season they distributed more than 800 backpacks and supplies to families in transition in the Chandler Unified School District, Tempe Children First Academy, and Sojourner Domestic Violence organization. And they had packed and ready to go out 75 more backpacks for this week. They also gave out more than 6000 pairs of socks and underwear to children in need.
I can not tell you how heartwarming it is to see where all your generous donations went. We can all make a difference in the communities we live in. Even the smallest donations can make a huge difference in someone's life. George shared several stories with us about families and children he has had the pleasure to help over the years.
Thank you Kaju AZ students for making this such a huge success. George was so grateful for all of our donations and I think a little surprised just how much we brought to them today. Please keep Fans Across America in mind when you are thinking of donating. They help needy families throughout the year and are always looking for gently used clothing, new backpacks and school supplies, new underwear and socks, food items, personal care items and anything that may help a family in transition.
Thank you also to Ms Katie for all your hard work and organizing our school supply drive!
