Providing School Supplies Is Challenging For Many Families

Halfway through 2024, Assistance League of Northern is continuing its energetic celebration of 20 years of community service helping disadvantaged children. Following the recent end of the school year and the arrival of July, vacation plans and summer camps are in full swing. But the arrival of July also means school will be starting again in less than two months and young students will again need new supplies. Providing such items is an additional expense that can be challenging for low-income families.

Assistance League has been inviting the community to share in its 20th anniversary celebration by contributing to its monthly wish lists. This month’s wish list includes a variety of school supplies such as notebooks, pens and pencils, crayons, rulers and glue sticks. By making a contribution from the wish list you can lighten the burden for families who struggle to afford such items.

Join Assistance League in embracing the words of Bernard Meltzer: “There is no better exercise for your heart than reaching down and helping to lift someone up.” www.ALNV/.org
