This fall, thousands of students in the Bloomington, Richfield, and Edina school districts need assistance in filling their backpacks. Join us in ensuring that children have all the necessary supplies for a successful school year by contributing to our annual School Supply Drive!

The drive will take place from July 1 to July 31, and donations will be distributed to community families through our outreach partners, VEAP and Casa Maria.

MOST NEEDED SUPPLIES

The following items are in high demand:

Backpacks
Scientific calculators
Wireless headphones/earbuds

These items are particularly impactful, as they are often the most expensive for families to purchase independently. We also welcome traditional supplies such as spiral notebooks and organizers, crayons, and washable markers. Please ensure that all donated items are brand new.

HOW TO DONATE

There are two convenient ways to contribute to the drive:

• Buy items off of our Amazon Wish List and these items will be shipped directly to church.
• Buy items on your own and drop them off at church in one of the large boxes marked for this purpose. The boxes will be located in the link between the Nave and Chapel (where the coat racks are) and in the Parish Office Entry (located off 50th street.)
