Phoenix Maya High School Offers Laundry Service For Homeless Students

Maya High School in west Phoenix is offering a new service to its students: laundry.

It all started when Principal John Anderson realized some of his students were missing school because they didn’t have any clean clothes to wear.

He told AZFamily something that really struck a nerve — more than 30% of his student body is homeless.

Anderson joined The Show to talk about it.
