School Supply Drive

for the Family Resource Center 

Each year, low-income families in Colorado Springs rely on the Family Resource Center for school supplies. Since the FRC's historic benefactor no longer offers school supplies, it's up to our local community to support students with the supplies they need to be successful at school.

The fall 2023 semester will be here before we know it! This means that families in Colorado Springs need your help.

There are 2 ways you can help:

Purchase & donate

Want to help us do the shopping?

Using the list of needed supplies below, you can purchase the school supplies directly and drop them off to our founder, Heidi Bartle, who will collect the donations and deliver them to The Family Resource Center for distribution.

Want to help but strapped for time? Please consider making a cash donation. No amount is too small, and every dollar will go directly toward serving members of our local community.
