It’s not even the end of June, but at Tampa Jewish Family Services we are already planning the 2014-15 school supply drive for families in need throughout the Tampa area. This year, our school supply distribution will extend into Pasco County, and in doing so we will double our distribution from last year – helping close to 250 families. Our agency needs help with donations of essential supplies: wide-ruled and medium-ruled paper, #2 pencils, crayons, washable markers, glue sticks and large red erasers – even backpack donations are needed. We will distribute these items to our Food Bank families with young children in early August, so our time frame is limited and our need is great. If you would like to make a donation, items may be dropped off at our offices located at the Tampa Jewish Community Center in Citrus Park. Monetary donations to purchase supplies may be made online at tjfs.org or by calling 813-960-1848. One-hundred percent of your donation will be used to purchase school supplies. Thank you for your help!
