School Supplies
By Heatherinspring on Jul 22, 2010 in Help Wanted
I’m wondering if anyone knows of any Twin Ports organizations or businesses that collect school supplies for low-income students or local classrooms. Cleaning out the office yielded a plethora of unopened packages of lined paper, pencils, etc. They won’t be used here, so I figure I’d drop them off if they’re being collected somewhere. Thanks for your help!
Vineyard Church is having a collection. Just drop it off I’m sure, maybe stop in for some coffee. It’s good stuff!

I think you can just take them to a school. Call first, I suppose.
Does CHUM still do its backpack drive? They used to give away backpacks filled w/school supplies.
I believe Life House accepts school supplies as well. They serve homeless & at-risk teens.
What a lovely thought! Good on you for searching out where these supplies will do some good.
Both CHUM and the Gospel Mission are collecting schools supplies & money again this year. Great job thinking to recycle rather than just toss.
Boys & Girls Clubs is always looking for school supplies.
Thanks for the help everyone!
I have about 100 Helix drafting compasses; wonder if they would want those too.
Bethany Crisis Nursery can always use them, too. It’s out by Morgan Park and is a wonderful organization helping families in crises.
