Clean Up Your Office and Help Students in Your Community
 
Houston’s Star of Hope Mission has an ongoing need for school supplies. You can help by cleaning your office of unused, surplus items and helping local children.
 
Markers, colored pencils, pens, highlighters, scissors, glue bottles, large erasers, pencil sharpeners, notebook paper, spiral notebooks, plastic school boxes, pencil pouches, index cards, folders, or binders (1 and 2 inch) are among the requested items.
 
If no supplies are on hand, another option is to donate through their School Supplies Amazon Wishlist: https://a.co/hre04NU. It’s an easy process and the items you purchase will be delivered straight to the Women and Family Development Center at Star of Hope’s Cornerstone Community®!
 
A school supplies drive in your church, business or neighborhood makes another great way to send kids back to school prepared for success. For more information on coordinating a drive visit our drives and collections page.
