Fill the Backpack Drive!
Help us send South Washington County students back to school with the tools they need to succeed. Now through August 8th, Friends in Need Food Shelf (FiN) will be collecting school supplies to fill backpacks for distribution to households in St. Paul Park, Cottage Grove, Newport, and Grey Cloud. Donations can be dropped off at 535 4th Street, St. Paul Park. (If after business hours there is a blue bin in the back of the building.) Needed items include:
- Notebooks, folders, 3-ring binders, filler paper
- Pens, pencils, highlighters, erasers
- Rulers
- Markers, crayons, colored pencils
- Pencil - boxes and bags
- Glue - bottles and sticks
- Kleenex, hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes
- Ziploc bags (gallon, quart, and sandwich size)
If preferred, needed supplies can be found at the following links for delivery directly to FiN:
