School supply charity?
Anyone have a link to a charity that would accept school supplies.
I have collected so many pens, pencils, sticky pads, and other paraphenalia that I would like to donate them to a charity that would give them to needy kids or schools. I am trying to "simplify" as the modern cliche goes.

What about you local schools? The other good place to donate school supplies is a shelter for battered women. The usually go there when getting away and their kids are with them.

Also, certain churches collect and distribute school supplies directly to schools. It's just a matter of identifying and finding them......

Our clothing and food pantry takes school supplies and will give out a tax receipt.

Sometimes companies, churches, etc. will sponsor events where they assemble filled backpacks for needy schoolchildren. (A real estate agency in my old neighborhood did this.) Maybe do a web search for a similar program in your area?
Or ... if you are interested in drawing new people in to your business, you could make those items the foundation for a "fill the backpacks" drive that your business conducted. (That might mean waiting awhile ... like until next summer, when the next "back-to-school" season commences.) Last edited by scfr : 10-16-2008 at 01:33 PM.

I teach at an inner city school where 77% of the kids live at or below the poverty line. If you'd like to donate anything, let me know!
