Connecting With Kids

Help us make a difference in the lives of our children.

The Program

Connecting With Kids is a service center funded through the TIE Foundation to provide everyday essentials to students in need so they can attend school ready to learn. Volunteers process, sort, clean and store clothing and personal articles.

Tempe Elementary students are in need of:

• new socks
• new underclothes
• new or gently used backpacks
• gently used clothing
• personal hygiene items (such as soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, etc.)
• school supplies
• cash contributions (for purchasing above-mentioned items as well as prescriptions, eye and dental care, etc.)
• volunteers to help out in the service center

You may designate your United Way donation to the TIE Foundation (code #1274) and help TIE continue to help the children, teachers and staff of Tempe Elementary. 

Connecting With Kids is always accepting donations of new socks and underwear and new and gently used clothing, uniforms, and shoes as well as personal hygiene items. Bring your donations to the District Office, 3205 S. Rural Road, Tempe, AZ or call (480) 730-7100.

Thank you for your support!
