School Supply Wish List

Homeless youth across Baltimore, Harford and Cecil Counties need your help for the upcoming school year.

Donations will be accepted from AUGUST 1st - 12th

**REMINDER: Only new items will be accepted.

It is imperative that this deadline be followed as we have to purchase for children that are not yet accounted for and also to make sure bags are labeled with their child’s ID #.‍ ‍All donations must be received by August 12th.

Important: If your volunteer shift takes place after the donation deadline, you must drop off your donations before the deadline.

The following items are most needed in order to set the youth up for success at the start of the school year and would be greatly appreciated as donations:

 

  • Pens & Pencils

  • Paper

  • Binders

  • Spiral Notebooks

  • Small Scissors

  • Glue Sticks

  • Backpacks*

  • Rulers

  • Dividers

  • Highlighters

  • Colored Pencils & Markers

  • Large Erasers

  • Pocket Folders

  • Pencil Cases/Pouches

If you prefer to shop online, you can also ship items directly to our Postman Plus address below.

* While we are grateful for anything we receive, in our experience, higher quality backpacks (Under Armour, Nike, Jansport, etc.) hold up longer and serve students for more than one year!
