Back 2 School Supply Drive

August 7-8-9

Every August, Waypoint helps families as they shop for their back to school items. Support families in need by donating back to school items. Donations will be accepted during the summer at the main Waypoint building until August 7th.

DONATE

It's as easy as A-B-C!

A) Make arrangements for your family, group, or organization to pack backpacks with school items.
B) Review the list of the most needed items and purchase the new supplies.
C) Drop off your stuffed backpack to the front desk of Waypoint.

Only new items will be accepted. All basic school supplies are needed for all ages. We have a great need for middle school and high school student supplies. Items will be distributed to families in need.

VOLUNTEER

Waypoint is seeking volunteers to help with Back 2 School Supply distribution to families it serves. Waypoint will be collecting Back 2 School supplies throughout the summer months. Families who receive services through Waypoint programs will sign up for a time to come to Waypoint and pick up donated school supplies for their children.
