Phoenix Arcadia Rotary Club Opportunity to Volunteer with our partner in Philanthropy Delivering Dreams of Arizona.
The Delivering Dreams Bus program works with 140 high poverty K-8th grade schools in the Greater Phoenix Area to provide brand new clothing, shoes and other essentials to children who are clothing insecure. Partner schools are visited by our 40ft mobile dressing centers, known as the Delivering Dreams buses throughout the school year. The buses are retrofitted to include shelves filled with clothing, a waiting area, shoe fitting station and dressing rooms. Eligible students are signed up for the program by school personnel and they are served during the school day on the schools’ scheduled date. Students are fitted for appropriate sizes are able to try items on before making their final selections.
Each student served receives an entire wardrobe valued at approximately $300. The program offers uniform clothing as well as casual clothing to meet the dress code requirement for each school.
The wardrobe package includes:
two bottoms (choice of pants, shorts, or skort)
three shirts
one sweatshirt
one pair of shoes
seven pair of socks
seven underwear
a health kit filled with hygiene items
