🚨 COMMUNITY DONATION DRIVE: Back-to-School Support for Barbour County Kids! 🚨
With the abrupt cuts and funding changes to the state’s school clothing vouchers, countless families right here in Barbour County are left scrambling without the vital assistance they counted on for the school year.
We want to make sure our local kids head back to the classroom feeling confident, prepared, and cared for. Our community always shows up for its own, and we need your help now more than ever!
👖 Clothing Needs (Toddlers to Age 18)
We are collecting clothing for boys and girls in all sizes, from toddler sizes all the way up to adult/teen sizes (up to age 18).
A quick note for our donors: Because these are for school-aged kids and teens, we kindly ask that adult-sized clothing be youthful, modern, and in styles that kids and teens actually want to wear to school (think current trends, graphic tees, hoodies, jeans, and athleisure let's skip the traditional adult or older styles, please!).
To respect our students' dignity and make sure they feel great, we also ask that all clothing items be clean, gently used, and completely free of stains, tears, or excessive wear. If you wouldn't feel comfortable putting your own child in it, please don't donate it!
🎒 Other Essential Items Needed:
Shoes: Sneakers and everyday footwear in all youth and teen sizes
School Supplies: Backpacks, notebooks, pencils, folders, binders, and other classroom essentials
Hygiene Supplies: Deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, shampoo, and feminine hygiene products
📍 Where & When to Drop Off:
Location: Belington Golden Rule
When: Regular business days during regular business hours, or on Saturdays and Sundays while the bakery is open.
How: Just look for the clearly marked, designated donation area!
Let’s rally together and make sure Barbour County kids have everything they need for a successful, stress-free school year. Thank you so much for your incredible generosity and support! ❤️📚
