School is (almost) in session! Help make sure kids are prepared.
The time has come to head back to class. Children and families participating in Tubman’s community-based youth programs, shelter programming, or checking in at Northstar Youth Outreach Center often do not have the time or resources to get ready for Back to School season, which means our annual Back to School Supply Drive is on! From pencils to paper to backpacks and tissue, you can make an impact on how a child or youth starts out the school year. Help get kids prepared to return to school by donating the much-needed and desired items below. All items must be NEW and UNUSED.
Donations can be dropped off at the following locations and times:
