School Supplies Program
Being equipped with the proper tools for school is essential to academic success.
Outreach recognizes that in order to break the cycle of poverty and hunger, children must be prepared to learn and succeed in school. Additionally, statistics show that children tend to learn and retain more information if they perceive themselves to be on a level playing field with other children. Children that are academically prepared have higher
self-confidence, self-worth and pride, which in turn, results in better grades.
The School Supplies Program serves school-aged children (Pre-K - 12th grade) whose families are unable to purchase needed school supplies. Each year, Outreach collects or purchases new back packs, pencils, notebooks, pens, paper, binders and other supplies for distribution. If you are interested in partnering with Outreach and would like to donate, you can make a monetary contribution by clicking the orange "donate now" button on the home page of our website. Be sure to click the "school supplies program" button to designate your donation. If you prefer to shop, you can drop off new school supplies and backpacks at Outreach (134 White Drive, Columbus NC) by Thursday, July 21.
Our School Supplies Distribution this year will be a drop-in event at Outreach, held over a two week period - August 1-4 & 8-11. We are open Monday & Thursday 9am - 12pm & 1 - 6pm; Tuesday & Wednesday 9am - 12pm & 1 - 4pm.
To learn more about the school supplies program, contact Client Services Manager, Michelle Reedy at michelle.reedy@tboutreach.org or 828-894-2988.
