ICYMI: Honest Arizona Offers Arizona Families Back-to-School Savings

TUCSON — Arizona families are eyeing higher costs as they send their children back to school in the coming weeks, but Honest Arizona is working to provide them some relief.

Many school products are made overseas, so the tariffs that Ciscomani voted for are raising prices even higher.

According to KGUN9:

“Kids and parents lined up at Oury Park Sunday, filling backpacks with school essentials during a free back-to-school supply giveaway hosted by Gracie Soto, owner of Anita's St. Market and president of Barrio Anita Neighborhood Association.

‘I'm a mother too. I know how hard it's been for me so I just remember those days and I think about what can I do even if it's something small. So something like this goes a long way for many families and its not just for the barrio, it's for all the kids in the community,’ Soto said.

Donations came from a wide range of supporters, including local organizations and people from across the country.

‘These are all from different people. I mean you have Honest Arizona here, you have families, you know, that have donated. You have customers of mine that have donated, friends. People that are in California who are from the barrio, you know, setting up a GoFundMe to help me get the last minute backpacks,’ Soto said.”

“Arizonans are facing higher prices across the board, because Congressman Juan Ciscomani and his Republican allies are making inflation worse,” said Andrea Moreno, Executive Director of Honest Arizona. “Honest Arizona is doing its part to help out, because Arizonans need every bit of support they can get.”
