Back-to-School Supply Drive 2026

Support the Drive Online

Each year, abused and neglected children return to school with hand-me-down backpacks, broken pencils, and torn folders—or without the tools they need to succeed. You can make an impact and help ensure this school year starts off right for them!

As we spend the rest of the summer packing backpacks with age-appropriate school supplies and new uniforms for thousands of children, we urgently need your help with additional supplies and funds to ensure their needs are met.
Drop Off Location: Cash, checks, and physical supplies can be dropped off in the narthex collection box through August 21.
Financial Impact:

• $15 provides 3 Art Sets
• $25 provides 12 Spiral Notebooks & 12 Composition Books
