“Back to school” is just around the corner! Each year, the Community Center holds a School Supplies Drive to ensure all students have what they need to return to the classroom and have a wonderful and productive school year. In 2024, we helped 79 children! Our annual School Supply Drive is donor-supported, meaning we rely on community members who are able to donate supplies that we’ll then give to students in need.
How you can help:
While you’re shopping, help local students in need by purchasing a few extra items! Bring donations to MFCC Monday through Friday, now through August 8th between 8am and 4pm.
We are looking for:
- Backpacks
- 1-inch Binders
- Binder Dividers
- Dry-Erase Markers
- (Pencil) Erasers
- Filler Paper (both College and Wide ruled)
- 2-pocket Folders
- Glue Sticks
- Mini- Hand Sanitizer
- Wired Headphones/ Wired Earbuds
- Highlighters
- Pens
- Pencils
- Pencil Pouches (High- and Middle School Age)
- Invisible Tape with Dispenser
- Sticky Notes
- Tissues (Mini packs and regular packs welcome)
How you can sign up to receive school supplies:

NEW THIS YEAR: Children/families can pick out their school supplies at one of the “Pick Up Days”.
Families will schedule an appointment to come “shop” for what they need at a designated time.
These appointments will be staggered and private.
