School Supplies Needed

A Steady Supply

Every single day, numbers of individuals, families, and teams are dropping by with school supplies. Some pay for it out of their own pocket. Others lead a drive in their neighborhood, and still others find ways to communicate and/or broadcast the need, so that the supplies just keep on coming in.

The need for more supplies is still strong!

We are grateful for the way the Lord prompts people’s hearts to give, and we appreciate the sacrifices people are making every day to help students in our community  start the school year just like everyone else. We expect to give the school supplies you provide to more than 9,000 students again this year.  Thank you.

The Mission Arlington® Difference

The heart of the Mission Arlington® family has never been “just about” the physical items we are so privileged to give – in support of families each week. We have always believed, as Tillie, our Director, has often reminded us – that “anyone can hand out food and clothes.”  Instead, our heart is to provide the kind of care and support which provides a personal and spiritual touch. Mission Arlington® volunteer teams will follow up with a huge percentage of the students and also with their families wherever there is a need.

Our Gratitude for You

We don’t know how to express our gratitude enough for all that each of you have done through this place. Many of you make personal sacrifices – in a way where no one else knows what you’ve done – just so a child can have what they need to be ok.  Thank you for your financial support, your prayers, and the way your hands and feet do the important work here every day. We are grateful for you.
