This upcoming school year will have extra challenges for families as they continue to adjust to the many changes brought by the COVID-19 Pandemic. Although the upcoming school year still has a lot of questions, we are dedicated to helping children in our community get set up for success!

In 2019, we were able to provide over 600 backpacks in our community and it is our hope to do that again in 2020. But we need your help.

We are looking for volunteers, businesses and companies to host a school supply collection! 

The timeframe of your collection is up to you – we are asking that all supplies be at our 960 Main Street location during the week of August 17th.

School Supply DriveSome of the school supply items that we are looking for are:

  • Two-pocket folders with prongs
  • Solid color wide-ruled notebooks
  • Composition notebooks
  • Glue sticks (3 large or 9 small) 
  • Blunt-tip scissors 
  • Box of tissues 
  • 24 pack of crayons 
  • Colored Pencils 
  • Pink erasers 
  • Number 2 pencils 
  • Expo dry erase whiteboard markers 
  • Snack size resealable plastic bags
  • Baby or antibacterial wipes

If your company is interested in hosting a collection or to schedule a red collection barrel drop off/pick up, please contact Bryanna at 716-888-6220 or bryanna.gwitt@use.salvationarmy.org
