Imagine a youngster starting the school year without a new backpack or even basic school supplies. Many parents struggle to afford these items, so we collect supplies and distribute to families in Carrollton, Farmers Branch, Addison, Coppell and the city of Dallas in Denton County. Will you help us make sure local students start the year with confidence and the essential items?
Volunteers will help sort donated school supplies and create school supplies packs that are unique to each child's needs. To volunteer please create an account in our volunteer database and attend one of our scheduled tours of our agency. Once you have created your account you can either sign up immediately online or email Erica at emahoney@metrocrestservices.org.
