Have a great idea for a new business, but don’t know where to get started? Try the government. Whether you’re looking for an app to help you get

advice on the go, or reading material on how to get started, USA.gov has the information you need:

Federal and state governments offer a large variety of free resources to people looking for small business help. USA.gov’s small business section helps you find government resources to start, operate and expand a business and much more.

The Small Business Administration (SBA) can help you with management, technical, and training issues, or help you find your loan and funding options from multiple government organizations. The SBA app helps you find local advisers who can give you free one-on-one help for growing your business. Use the calculator to figure out costs of starting a new business, and catch up on all the

news through SBA’s social media channels. Visit the newly created Business.USA.gov to find the small business tools available to you from across the government. Partner agencies such as the Department of Commerce and the Department of Labor share all their business resources in one spot, plus you can find out about state and local business outreach and development events. If you’re looking for information on specific business related topics, Publications.USA.gov features important information on patents and copyrights, current business scams, workplace health and safety and much more. The Consumer Action Handbook is a great resource to have on hand when you need to look up local, state and federal agencies for your business questions. You can also find trade associations and hot consumer topics like insurance questions, employment options, scams and more.

All school age students look forward to their summer vacations. Most of those students along with their parents begin to plan for the following school year. Getting ready to go back to school is fun. They are able to buy new uniforms, back packs and school supplies. However, some of our children are not looking forward to this time of the

year because their parents can’t afford to buy even the basic school supplies. This is where the

members of the Santa Cruz Community come in. Thanks to Safeway, Inc., who has partnered with many other organizations and businesses, we will be sponsoring our very first annual Jump Back to School Fair. We now have the opportunity to provide some of the basic needs for our Nogales Unified School District students from Kindergarten through Grade 5. You can get involved by either giving financial donations or through a corporate or individual sponsorship. This would include a booth promoting health, wellness or other school related activities with volunteering and in kind contributions.

For more information, please contact: Denisse Melendez at the Santa Cruz County Superintendent of Schools Office, 2150 N. Congress Dr.,

Nogales, AZ 85621 or at (520) 375-7940.

Sponsor and Participate in the 1st Annual

Jump Back to School Event!
