Please help us to help homeless children become prepared for school as the school bells ring for the 2013-2014 school year. When families arrive at Families Forward Philadelphia (FFP) they are focused on how to obtain the basic necessities: food, shelter, and a safe place to live. Homeless children face many barriers to school such as not having stable housing moves them from place to place or being embarrassed because they don’t have proper supplies for schools! Most children arrive at FFP with very limited school supplies or none at all! That’s why we need your help to ensure kids in crisis have the basics throughout the school year. The following are items always in demand and appreciated: • Backpacks (youth and teen) • Black and white composition books (MEAD) • Plastic scissors • Crayons (basic colors) • Markers (erasable) • Glue sticks • Pencils and pencil cases • Ink pens (Blue or Black) • Highlighters • Rulers • 3 Ring Binders and dividers • Loose leaf paper • Folders (with side pockets) • Index Cards/poster board • Flash Drives • Calculators • Dictionary and Thesaurus • Tissues/Hand sanitizer If you would like to organize a drive or have any questions please contact Grace Hightower, Director of Fund Development by phone at 215-240-4828 or email at [email protected]. We are requesting to have donations delivered to 111 N. 49th Street before August 30th.
