Hands of Hope Food Pantry & Outreach Center
Dear Friends,
As we prepare for the upcoming school year, we are reaching out to generous organizations and individuals to request donations of Backpacks and School Supplies for our needy students in our Cape Cod community. Many of the children we serve come from low-income families and struggle to afford the necessary materials to support their education. Hands of Hope Outreach Center receives numerous requests from parents using our Food Pantry, School Nurses, School Guidance Counselors and sometimes from Neighbors who notice neighborhood children in need.
Beginning in July we request Backpacks for children ages 4-18 from any donors we can find. Past donors have been the Kiwanis Club, numerous Church members, Garden Clubs, Book Clubs, Neighborhood Associations, Newcomers Clubs, Alumni Association, Retired Teachers, Sporting Groups and individual members of the Community.
We are seeking donations of the following items: Fill a Backpack or contribute separately:
Backpacks - New or Gently Used (more sturdy ones for HS and Middle School students greatly needed)
Pencils/Pens/Highlighters
Notebooks/College lined paper/Binders
Markers
Crayons
Your contribution will make a significant difference in the lives of our students by providing them with the tools they need to succeed in their studies. We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to learn and grow, and with your support, we can help make this possible.
If you are able to assist, please let us know at your earliest convenience. We would be happy to arrange a time to pick up any donation, or you can drop them off at our address listed below during the hours of M-TH 10-3, F and S 10-1. Additionally, if you would prefer to send a monetary donation to the address below, we can do the shopping for you!
Thank you for considering our request. We deeply appreciate your kindness, time and generosity. If you have any questions or need further information, please do not hesitate to contact us directly.
