Arizona Sunshine Angels Respond to COVID-19 Crisis
The recent COVID Pandemic has been a challenge for us all.
The children have been housebound for their protection and for the protection of staff and volunteers. To make this “new normal” a bit more fun, the Arizona Sunshine Angels have provided funds for new gaming systems, art supplies, special meals and much more. This has been made possible by our many supporters and the Arizona Tax Credit for Qualified Foster Children Charitable Organizations. To all of you, please feel our heartfelt appreciation.
