Cubex Supports Local Youth With School Supply Drive

Written by CUBEX Community | Jul 12, 2019 3:59:29 PM

It's Back to School Time! This is a fun time for kids to get back to school and meet up with their friends but it can also place a burden on parents and teachers. Cubex® is setting up a School Supply Drive to help lessen that burden. 

This year, Cubex® will be supporting our neighbors at the Balsz Elementary and Tillman Middle School and the Bob and Renee Parson's Branch of the Boys and Girls Club of Metro Phoenix. Let's get these young minds the tools they need to succeed. 

The Cubex School Supply Drive will run Wednesday, July 17th through Wednesday, July 31st.

Collection Site:
There will be a collection site set up in the back offices. At this collection site there will be two donation boxes, one for Balsz School District (Balsz Elementary and Tillman Middle School) and one for the Boys and Girls Club of Metro Phoenix - Bob and Renee Parson Branch. Bring in your supplies from the list below and set them in the box to be delivered at the end of the drive. 

Monetary Donations:
We also have an opportunity to purchase backpacks and school supplies in bulk at wholesale pricing through Bags in Bulk. This is the most economic way to go and will really stretch our purchasing dollar. To put in perspective, the example below can be purchased for about $7.00/each. There are a lot of options with this company depending on the target  age range. This is just an example. Consider pooling our money to make the biggest impact and use the donate button below.
