In this episode of The Business Of, Zach sits down with Lara Iacobucci Paris, Director of Development for More than a Bed, to talk about the state of kids in Arizona and Pima County. With close to 14,000 Arizona children in foster care, but only 2% of them likely to go to college, this is not only a social crisis but also a major workforce challenge looming. One of the newest Chamber nonprofit members, More than a Bed provides essential items to foster, kinship and adoptive families for the children in their homes including those in a congregate care setting at no cost to them.
