NEEDS is holding our annual Student Assistance Drive!

In just a few weeks, students in the Deer Park, Sycamore, Princeton, and Silverton districts will return to school – but many families in these districts cannot afford school supplies or other essentials. NEEDS is seeking gift cards and monetary donations to help these families. Gift cards and funds give school administrators flexibility to assist students with a variety of needs throughout the year, from school supplies and transportation to food and warm clothing. You can help!

What to donate:
– Gift cards from stores such as Walmart, Target, and Kroger ($25 cards work best, but all denominations are appreciated!)
– Visa and Mastercard gift cards
– Shell gas cards (many families live in areas where busing is not available)
– Check (marked for Student Assistance Drive)

Please drop off your donation during our open hours (Tuesday and Thursday 9:00-1:00), or mail your gift card or check to:

c/o Kenwood Baptist Church

You can also donate through PayPal or Venmo HERE.

Please donate by September 30. Thank you!

Our pantry coordinators share, “We’ve made it through the summer — when there is always a dramatic decrease in donations — thanks to the generosity of our churches and donors. And now we’re entering the craziness of back-to-school days!”

You can help the pantry stock up for the coming months by donating some of our most-needed items!
