Donations help kids get ready for school

For more than 30 years, the Salvation Army in the Sun Cities/West Valley has provided new clothing and shoes for children who are getting ready to go back to school.

This year, 200 children will be assisted with shoes, socks, undergarments, two tops and two bottoms. Working families needing help with school clothing will be interviewed to determine eligibility. The cost of providing clothing is about $100 per child. To help the Salvation Army with this project, checks may be sent to The Salvation Army, PO Box 1161, Sun City, AZ 85372-1161.
