Single Mom Strong’s Backpack and School Supply Distribution

We have FREE school supplies available for children of single moms! Single Mom Strong wants to be sure your child has everything they need to head back to school! Register to receive one backpack per child (limit three per family, while supplies last) then head over to the Empowerment Center parking lot on August 11th. You will be able to select age-appropriate items from two supply stops in our parking lot: Stop 1 will offer back-packs.

At Stop 2, children will choose from binders, folders and notebooks, pens, pencils, markers, erasers, scissors, glue and more. A volunteer will be present at each stop to distribute the items, making this a quick and easy pick up! The details: Backpacks MUST be picked up at this distribution event. Those that are not present for pickup will forfeit their right to a backpack or supplies. The last car will be admitted into the parking lot at 12:45pm, so please arrive no later than 12:45 and enter the Pratt Ave. entrance. To qualify, your family must be registered to receive Single Mom Strong services (which means you’ve completed a one-page online form -it takes 1 minute!) A registration form will be emailed to all families who register for this event, who do not have a child registration form on file with Single Mom Strong.

There is no purchase necessary and no obligation. All children of single mothers are welcome to receive this benefit. THIS TICKET DOES NOT ENTITLE YOU TO A BACKPACK. YOU MUST HAVE REGISTERED YOUR CHILD(REN) AS EXPLAINED ABOVE. Please watch for the registration email. A small number of waitlist tickets will be made available, to distribute any leftover backpacks and supplies that are not picked up at the event. Waitlist registrations will need to pick-up on 8/12 between 10-12 or 3-5 at the Empwoerment Center. Thank you!
