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

**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 deliveries must be received by August 10th. Packing day volunteers cannot bring their donations on the day of and must deliver by August 10th.
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

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!
