Now Accepting School Supplies

Outreach’s School Supplies Program depends on the generosity of our community. Each year, we collect and purchase new backpacks, pencils, notebooks, pens, paper, binders and other essential supplies to support students and teachers across Polk County.

 

You can help ensure students are prepared and classrooms are stocked by donating supplies by dropping off new backpacks and school supplies at Outreach, located at 134 White Drive, Columbus, NC 28722.
