These Valley places are helping kids, teachers in need get back to school

Not everyone can afford to go out and buy everything they need for the school year.

It's back-to-school season in the Valley, which means students and teachers are hitting the stores to grab the latest and greatest in school supplies.

Unfortunately, not everyone has the ability to do that.

Places and organizations around the Valley are hoping to help kids, and even teachers, in need get back to school.

We're teaming up with United Food Bank to put a million meals on tables in Arizona. Now through Labor Day you can donate to help make this a reality.
