“Mesquite is honored to partner with State Farm and the Arizona Cardinals to help provide for those in need during these difficult times,” Mesquite High School Principal Rod Huston said in a press release. “This year has hit so many hard-working families, leaving them feeling lost and alone and unsure of how to make ends meet.
“Mesquite understands the value of being good neighbors and building relationships with our community and its families. Allowing us to help these students start 2021 in a positive fashion will go a long way in helping them have a great second semester.”
