Why Low-Income Children?

Our future lies in the hands of our children, and it’s our responsibility to provide them with the resources necessary to be successful. The CCA Team has witnessed firsthand the struggles of lower-income families to receive quality childcare in the form of daycare/preschool, before & after school care programs, extracurricular activities, summer camps, and more. In Arizona, we have the extraordinary opportunity to choose where we spend our tax dollars, with one of the options being a Qualified Charitable Organization that supports low-income families. What better way to give back to the great state of Arizona, than by donating tax dollars to our children in need.
