Supplies Needed for Back to School - How You Can Help

Posted on August 10, 2023 in: School News, Catholic Charities News, Volunteer Opportunities

Supplies Needed for Back to School - How You Can Help

Catholic Charities will be assisting our children and parents to prepare the 2023-24 academic school year and it will be here sooner than we think!

We are asking for your participation by providing children with their basic school supplies, backpacks, pencils, erasers, pens, subject tablets, colorful markers, pencil boxes, glue, etc.

Catholic Charites will distribute your school supplies to parents participating in our monthly Parenting Zoom group, which includes clients from our 4 offices. The school supplies will also be distributed to clients who receive other services at Catholic Charities.

If you prefer to send a check send it to Catholic Charities 331 Main Street, Norwich CT 06360 and on the memo line identify “School Supplies.”

In addition to the Norwich office the “School Supplies” can be delivered to the New London office, 28 Huntington Street, the Willimantic office, 88 Jackson Street, and the Middletown office, 16 Stack Street.

 

 

Thank you for putting a smile on the faces
of our deserving children and their parents
as they get ready for a new and exciting school year!
