Last week, we had the absolute pleasure of hosting Social Venture Partners Arizona and Fidelity Charitable? at our Tempe Resource Center for a first-hand look into our organization. ???? Through a tour of our facility, a volunteer session, and an insightful Q&A, we were able to provide a deeper look into the important work we do for educators and their students. A heartfelt thank you to everyone with SVP and Fidelity Charitable for taking time out of your busy schedules to engage with our mission! We are truly grateful for your ongoing support, which empowers us to continue our vital work of supporting local educators. ????

Thank you to our veterans ????
