Many kids are going to return to classrooms this fall. Help us make sure they’ve got the protection they need! Along with school supplies, we're providing face masks to every child. If you'd like to donate school supplies also, please head to www.swhd.org/backtoschool
Please consider making cloth face masks to support their health and safety during this difficult time.Step 1: Follow the instructions for making the masks listed at
https://thestitchingscientist.com/2020/04/child-size-face-mask.html
If possible, please use child-friendly fun fabric, which might help them to wear the masks regularly. This could be superhero themed, animals, tie-dye or anything that children might enjoy.
Step 2: If local to the Phoenix area, masks can be dropped off Monday-Friday from 8a.m.-noon at 2850 N. 24th Street, Phoenix, AZ 85008. An in-kind donation receipt will be provided.
OR
If delivery is not possible, masks can be mailed to: Southwest Human Development, Attn: Annette Sutfin 2850 N. 24th Street, Phoenix, AZ 85008.
Step 3: If you mailed your masks and need an in-kind donation receipt, please email Annette at asutfin@swhd.org to receive one. Be sure to indicate how many masks you provided.
Thanks for the support of Arizona's children during these uncertain times!
