Is help out there for school supplies for foster children?

Question

We are looking for programs to help with school supplies for foster children. I had no idea that senior year could be so expensive!

Answer 1

Try the local churches.  Catholic Charities does a lot of things like this.

Answer 2

Call your town social services department. They are usually aware of charitable organizations that provide supplies. My town has several programs including a stuffed backpack give-away. My school also has some supplies that they make available for students living in extreme situations.

This is a reach but might be worth a try-call your local office supply superstore and ask if they are participating in any local donation programs. Once you have a name of an organization, you can call them for details.

Best of luck and thank you for supporting the foster program.
