Collection Drives

Back-to-School Drive
Arizona Sunshine Angels provides backpacks filled with school supplies year-round, giving children in foster care the tools they need to succeed. It also is an opportunity to fit in, have a fresh start and create confidence that can last a lifetime.

Clothing and/or Shoe Drive
Children in foster care often leave home with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Each year, Arizona Sunshine Angels gives children in foster care a fresh start with essential items like clothing and shoes. We only accept new underwear and socks. All other clothing and shoes need to be new or gently used.

Hygiene Items Drive
Each year, Arizona Sunshine Angels provide Welcome Boxes to children in foster care to help them feel loved and valued.

Christmas Drive
During the Christmas season, Arizona Sunshine Angels ensure each child in the residential group homes has an exciting and joyous Christmas.

Luggage Drive
We want to make sure every child in residential group homes can pack their belongings in a special bag  that they can call their own. No child should have to pack their belongings in a trash bag.
