Receiving School Supply Assistance
Hastings Family Service helps families living in Independent School District 200 who need assistance with the cost of school supplies.
Registration for School Supply Assistance will open August 5, 2024.
School Supply Assistance appointments will be in-person.
To receive school supplies, the parent or guardian is required to show a picture ID and a current piece of mail postmarked within two weeks or a current utility bill. Each household must complete an intake form. For each child receiving supplies, proof of enrollment in school is required. If a child is attending school outside of ISD 200, the proof of enrollment must show a home address within our service area.
Distribution dates:
- August 20, 21, 22, 23
