As the beginning of the school year approaches, many families in the Bronx find themselves in a trying position - they need to provide their children with the supplies to succeed in school, but the prohibitive costs of living in NYC prevents them from doing so.
Part of the Solution (POTS), a multi-service social agency dedicated to nourishing the basic needs and hungers of all who come to our door, will be collecting school supplies to distribute to families in need.
Any contribution to our school supplies drive is greatly appreciated. We need: backpacks, pencil boxes, rulers, scissors, notebooks, binders, markers, erasers or crayons.
Our goal is to distribute school supplies to 300 children in low-income families in the Bronx.
For more information, or to help, please contact Kimberly Roginski at 718-220-4892, Ext. 12 or email serve@potsbronx.org.

Description
Helping low-income families and individuals since 1982, POTS has grown to become a leading

seven days a week; a Food Pantry; Nutrition Education, Clothing Room, Shower, and Mail
Facilities; Barbershop; Case Management to help people address barriers to stability; a Legal
Clinic specializing in eviction prevention and improper denial of benefits; and the POTS Family

supplies, Thanksgiving turkeys and holiday gifts and is host to a Medical and Dental Clinic.
