Suitcase Drive for Teens

NSA-Arizona is partnering with OCJ Kids (Opportunity Community and Justice for Kids) to provide gently used suitcases for teens aging out of the foster care system. 

Tamara Webb from OCJ Kids will be at the November meeting to share with us how they use the suitcases and provide them to the kids.

We will be collecting suitcases at our November 13th program meeting and at our December 12th Holiday Party. Your involvement and support plays a vital role in the success of the lives of foster children in Arizona. Thank you to NSA-Arizona member Stephanie Angelo for making the suggestion.
