Back-to-School Drive - Independence Campus

A new school year brings fresh opportunities—and you can help local students and families start the school year with confidence.

From August 9–23, we will be collecting new school supplies, personal hygiene items, and individually packaged snacks to help meet practical needs as students head back to school. Every donation, big or small, helps provide encouragement and care to families in the Independence, Jesup, East Buchanan, and Oelwein school districts! 

Please bring donations to the Independence Campus by Sunday, August 23.
