School Supply Drive

•

Throughout the month of August, WES will be supporting Family and Friends of Incarcerated People by host a school supply drive! We hope you’ll join us in supporting the children’s need for school supplies by helping them start out the school year fully stocked! We are asking that all donations be at WES by August 20.

Want to make a big commitment to a child? Fill their complete school supply list!

Stuff the sack with school supplies! Pick a student’s list from the coat tree to sponsor a child or youth from FFOIP.  At the end of month, we will have an ice cream social party with  FFOIP to organize supplies into backpacks to get the school year started off with fun, friends, and needed supplies.
