We encourage and support the children in our Outreach families in their education. At the beginning of each school year, Outreach provides backpacks filled with school supplies, lunch boxes and some basic clothing for the school children in our Outreach families. We provide, as we are able, filled backpacks for a number of other area children when requested. Outreach also provides money for field trips, fees for extra-curricular activities, etc. Tutors have been arranged for students in need of extra help as well as scholarships for summer school when needed.

You Can Help

When did you last get to choose a superhero lunchbox? Or pick out the best box of crayons? Each August, names are available of those in need of backpacks and school supplies, along with lists from the various area schools of the supplies they require for the various grades. The newsletter, bulletin and this website will provide details at the end of July/early August.

If you would like to help provide school supplies in the wider community, contact the Salvation Army School Supplies Project.
