Goodyear White Tanks Rotary Club
to donate 400 backpacks

This Thursday, Aug. 6, Goodyear White Tanks Rotary Club will deliver 400 back to school backpacks loaded with back to school supplies to Arizona Children’s Association.

Last year the office located at 11327 W. Bell Road in Surprise received a total donation of only two backpacks. Upon learning of the plight of this office which serves about 800 children who are mostly poverty stricken and in crisis family situations, the Goodyear White Tanks Rotary Club came to the rescue. Between member donations of 300 backpacks and help from Wal-Mart, which donated another hundred, members of the Rotary Club will deliver the 400 backpacks and supplies Thursday, Aug. 6th between 8:30 and 9:30 a.m.

This is a mighty effort from a 60-member Rotary Club, showing how we can make a difference in our community, even in times of great financial need.
