The Youth and Education Office assisted nearly 100 families when it recently teamed up with its family resource centers for the first Back 2 School event and health fair.
Health screenings included general vitals, hearing, vision, speech and child vaccines, city officials said, and more than 300 books were handed out thanks to the Book Rich Environment program by the National Book Foundation.
In addition, 227 children received backpacks donated by the Office of Mayor Kate Gallego and Valley of the Sun United Way, as well as school supplies provided by Back 2 School America.
A variety of organizations contributed to the event, including Molina Healthcare, Child Crisis Arizona, Advance Partnering for Health Communities, Make Way for Books, Adelante Healthcare, Monarca, Eyes On Learning, Arizona Burn Foundation, Valle del Sol, PBS KIDS, Rising Families and A.T. Still University.
