Help a Child Through “Supplies for School”

The Town of Hamden Youth Services Bureau provides Hamden students with free school supplies to meet their academic requirements.  This initiative was created to assist Hamden families who have displayed financial need and are having difficulty in providing their children with the necessary items needed for school.

The school year is rapidly approaching and supplies are low. Residents, schools and/or organizations are welcome to assist the “Supplies for School” project with donations of any of the following new items:  backpacks, notebooks, pencils, pens, rulers, pocket folders, pencil sharpeners, glue, magic markers, tape, calculators, crayons and scissors, three ring binders, etc. 

All items may be dropped off at the main office of Hamden Youth Services Bureau at 11 Pine St., between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, or at the Hamden Farmer’s Market every Friday from 11 a.m.-3 p.m., where we will have a drop off box.
