Thank you!

Through the generosity of the community, 277 students received new school supplies so far this year, along with several local schools. HFS extends a warm thank you to the many volunteers who helped facilitate this year's program, and to the faith communities, groups, businesses, families and individuals that collected and donated new school supplies or provided monetary support, including the annual Hastings Middle School Tug of War fundraiser.

Receiving School Supply Assistance

Hastings Family Service helps families living in Independent School District 200 who need assistance with the cost of school supplies.

School supplies remain available throughout the year for students and teachers in ISD 200. Please call HFS at 651-437-7134 if you are in need of school supplies. 

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.
