”Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.”
– James Matthew Barrie
Welcome Box
It’s hard enough on a child to move with their family… but even more difficult for a child when they not only have to leave their family but also move into a new home without them. The Arizona Sunshine Angels welcomes every foster child lovingly into their new foster home with a personal and very special Welcome Box. Each box is handcrafted by Angels and includes a special message, shampoo, soap/body wash, deck of cards, brush/comb, lotion, lip balm, hair accessories, journal and pen, toothbrush and toothpaste, snacks and more.
Each year, the Arizona Sunshine Angels prepares more than 700 Welcome Boxes to the Sunshine children. These children enter the foster care system with only the clothes they are wearing at the time and are thrilled to receive a special gift just for them.
Our deepest gratitude goes out to the following schools, churches and businesses which held donation drives to help us with this very important service to the children:
- Cable One
- Horizon High School Honor Society, Scottsdale
- Galivan Peak Elementary, Anthem
- Canyon Springs Elementary, Anthem
- Unity of Surprise
- Northminister Presbyterian Church, Phoenix
- Relief Society, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Peoria
