School Supply/Backpack Drive
Our kids need supplies to go back to learning, and we welcome donations year-round to support our students at school and at the Club after school. The best time to donate would be from June through August/September. A back-to-school supply drive helps our kids come prepared to learn and lessens the financial burden on families.
You can provide us with just supplies, backpacks, or stuff the backpacks with supplies for specific grade levels. The flyer (click here) describes the types of supplies needed for various grade levels. To inquire about setting up a School Supply drive, email danderson@bgcmercer.org
