Your Complete Guide to Back-To-School
Your-Back-To School Guide
The Foster Alliance (TFA) is excited to continue to provide new backpacks with grade-appropriate school supplies to children in foster care entering preschool through high school. Additionally, foster families with children in foster care can select clothing for school. These essentials are made possible through #FosterAllies and their generous donations. Therefore, sizes and colors cannot be guaranteed, but we will do our best to accommodate you.

What’s In Store
Each backpack given by The Foster Alliance this Back-to-School season will include all of the supplies children need to start the school year off right! In addition to the “starter kit”, we will also have other age-appropriate school supplies available.
How It Works

Beginning July 8th through the end of August, The Foster Alliance Phoenix Resource Center will have backpacks and school supplies for you to choose from.

Foster families that haven’t visited us for essential needs in the last 30 days can also select clothing; sizes and colors cannot be guaranteed, but we will do our best to accommodate.
