School Supply Drive

get involved

Give a child a successful start to the school year by donating school supplies! Even better, participate in our 2025 drive by packing a backpack or two for a specific age group. Last year, we distributed 500 backpacks, and this year, you can help us reach even more students!

Donate school supplies individually or organize a collection drive in your church, neighborhood, or workplace. Details are on the downloadable flyer at the bottom of the page. We have also provided a school supply shopping list for you!

SEND DONATIONS by FRIDAY, JULY 18 2025

To make sure all backpacks can be distributed before the school year starts, we hope to receive all donations by July 18. Tara Anderson will be available to receive your donation at our office on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 am – 2 pm. Please contact Tara if you have any questions. You can email tara@buildingfamiliesforchildren.org or call 410-872-1050 ext. 1820. Thank you!

You’re welcome to download and use these materials to advertise your collection. Feel free to post them in places like libraries, coffee shops, or on a bulletin board at your office or place of worship. We are happy to customize them by adding the specific details for your collection! If you would like us to do that and/or if you want hard copies of these materials, please email juliel@buildingfamiliesforchildren.org. Thank you!
