The La Crosse Community is very excited to once again join forces to help families get their students ready to head Back2School! All students needing help with school supplies are welcome to participate in the Back2School Program. Begin by filling out an online application below. If you need assistance with filling it out, please call Catholic Charities at 608-782-0710, Monday-Thursday between 9 am to 4 pm. The front desk volunteers will be able to assist you.
There will be four Back2School events where families can pick up supplies. Please choose your pick up location when you fill out your application:
- Erickson BGC - July 29: 5:30 pm - 7 pm (1331 Clinton Street, La Crosse)
- La Crosse Center – August 5: 10 am – 12 pm (Arena Floor)
- La Crosse Center - August 5: 1 pm - 7 pm (Arena Floor)
- Mathy BGC - August 12: 5:30 pm - 7 pm (8118th Street South, La Crosse)
I WOULD LIKE TO JOIN IN SERVICE! HOW CAN I HELP?
- Donate backpacks and/or school supplies
- Make a monetary donation so we can purchase needed supplies
- Purchase Scrip from your local Parish to donate for school supplies (this benefits the parish as well as the children in need)
At this time, we do not know what our need for volunteers will be, but we will need you! Please continue to watch social media for updates or sign-up to receive notifications of volunteer needs. Thank you so much for your consideration and help as we could not fulfill this need without your generosity!
I KNOW A FAMILY THAT NEEDS HELP!
Please continue to check our website or join our Facebook page for updates. Please understand our Back2School Supply Program is a supplemental program. We will do our best to make sure basic needs are met.
