Host a School Supplies Drive
** Please drop donations off by Tuesday, Aug 11 **
Last year, HFS and the community helped 306 children get their school year off to a successful start with free school supplies! The School Supply Assistance program is available for families living in and students attending school in ISD 200. If you'd like to help, please consider donating NEW school supplies or share a gift to help with supplies. Any gift makes a difference in supporting local youth and families!
Drop donations off at the HFS Donation Center: M-F 9AM-4PM | Sat 10AM-3PM

In addition to preschool/elementary school supplies, these items are especially helpful to support middle and high school students:
