Join Us in Empowering Students for our Back-to-School Supply Drive!

As summer winds down, the excitement and anticipation of a new school year begin to build. However, many students in our community and the Cleveland area face the challenge of starting school without the essential supplies they need to succeed. This year, we have an incredible opportunity to make a difference and ensure every child starts the year ready to learn and thrive.

We are thrilled to announce our Back-to-School Supply Drive, and we need your support! From July 22nd until August 8th, we are collecting new school supplies and gift cards for Merrick House-Cleveland Neighborhood Center to redistribute to students and schools in need. By contributing, you are directly impacting the education and well-being of our future leaders.

Why Participate?

1. Support Education: Your donations provide students with the tools they need to engage and excel in their studies.
2. Build Community: When we come together for a common cause, we strengthen our bonds and demonstrate the power of collective action.
3. Inspire Hope: A small act of kindness can ignite a child’s passion for learning and boost their confidence.

How You Can Help:

• Donate Supplies: Drop off new school supplies such as notebooks, pencils, backpacks, crayons, and calculators to the designated box in the lobby/common area of your apartment building.
• Gift Cards: Contribute gift cards from popular stores that sell school supplies. These give flexibility to families to purchase exactly what their children need.
• Spread the Word: Share this initiative with your friends, family, and on social media to amplify our impact.

Drop-Off Locations:

• Fairmont Creamery/West 17th Townhomes: Lobby near mailroom
• The Lincoln: Lobby near DO Summers box
