Community Outreach

“St. Thomas Aquinas Grade School had a jog-a-thon and donated a percentage of the proceeds to Arizona Helping Hands and the funds were used to send kids to Knights of Columbus camp at Mormon Lake. These kids are so poor they don’t get 3 meals a day. They are lucky to get 1 meal.”

- Kathy Donaldson, Arizona Helping Hands

Community outreach is an important component of the STAGS community. We believe that giving back to the community benefits both our students and the organizations that we support. Through various school efforts, STAGS has contributed goods and funds to such many local organizations. The Service Club is another way our students embrace the ability to reach others.

STAGS has supported many organizations in our community such as:

• HALO Animal Rescue
• Arizona Helping Hands
• St. Vincent de Paul (STA chapter)
• Open Arms Home for Children
• St. Joseph's Hospital
• West Valley Child Crisis Center
• Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (Arizona Chapter)

Being actively involved in community outreach is one of the many ways STAGS demonstrates a commitment to helping others in need.
