Arizona Polymer Flooring Hosting Holiday Drive to Benefit Arizona Children Living in Foster Care
by Leane Owen - Director of Marketing, Specialty Flooring
Every year, Arizona Polymer Flooring holds a community service event to benefit a local charity. This year we are hosting a holiday drive to benefit Child Crisis Arizona, which serves and protects Arizona’s most vulnerable children from abuse and neglect, and helps build strong families in Maricopa County.
Arizona is currently experiencing a foster care crisis with nearly 18,000 children in out-of-home care. Child Crisis Arizona is working closely with other organizations and agencies, foster parents, elected officials and volunteers to bring this crisis to an end, and they need your help.
We are asking employees, customers and partners to donate everyday essentials and holiday gifts. New, unwrapped items can be dropped off at APF, located at 7731 N. 68th Ave. in Glendale, by Wednesday, Dec. 14.
