School Supply Drives Needed

Save to Favorites

Many families are struggling and are unable to provide the basic school supplies their children need for school. In addition, schools across the country are facing severe budget cuts and lack the funding to purchase necessary supplies. You can help children in school by giving them the tools they need to succeed. Donate school supplies or, even better, organize your own school supply drive at your office or neighborhood. Child Focus works in 72 elementary, middle and high schools in Clermont, Brown and Hamilton counties so we can help you distribute! We also have an in-person event at our Mt. Orab office where students will come in and pack their own book bag that we need volunteers for. We have offices in Mt. Orab, Brown County; Norwood, Hamilton County and Eastgate, Clermont County for convenient drop-off. Pick up can be requested. Thank you for helping kids start the school year off ready and excited!
