Summer Volunteers Appreciated

Thank goodness it's Friday and thank goodness for Leo Colussi and Chloe Creamer.


These two SHS freshmen volunteered with us all summer and were a huge help! They even stuck around after shopping with neighbors to clean!


Thank you Leo and Chloe!

Food Drives Very Generous

Thank you to staff and members at Megacorps Fitness (pictured). Their recent food drive was very generous.


Springboro's church-sponsored food drives also continued. Thanks to members of Covenant Presbyterian Church and Springboro United Church of Christ for your ongoing generosity.


We appreciate our community so much!

Register Your Grocery Cards

You can help SCAC keep the food flowing in many different ways. If you shop at Kroger or Dorothy Lane Market, register your rewards cards so their Community Rewards and Good Neighbor Programs benefit SCAC.


These donations DO make a difference. Between May 1 and July 31, more than $700 made its way to SCAC thanks to 121 households who shop at Kroger with registered cards.


Go online to www.kroger.com or www.dorothylane.com or visit customer service. A percentage of your total will be donated to SCAC every time you shop.

PayPal Allows Recurring Donations
Did you know: SCAC accepts donations via PayPal. Want to give regularly? Set up a recurring donation!

If you give from a bank account instead of a credit card, there are no fees! (We pay the fees which reduces your donation.) And it's secure! 

Thanks to everyone who has already donated through PayPal and who set up recurring donations! We appreciate you!


If you prefer to send a check, you can mail it to Springboro Community Assistance Center, P.O. Box 1042, Springboro, Ohio 45066, or stop by with your donation during our distribution hours on Mondays between 2:30 and 4:30 p.m.
