Back to School Support

Help our kids start the school year right by donating much needed school supplies!

From Wednesday, July 8th through Tuesday, August 4th, we're accepting school supply donations to help the families we serve prepare for the new school year.

School supplies can be dropped off from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays at our office at 727 E. Main St. Columbus, OH 43205. For additional information, please contact Jeanette Moore at jmoore@homeforfamilies.org.
