Catholic Charities

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 which will be available starting April 15th. 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 three Back2School events where families can pick up supplies.

• Erickson BGC – July 28th: 5:30 pm-7 pm – 1331 Clinton Street, La Crosse
• La Crosse Center – August 4th: 9 am-12 pm and 1 pm-5 pm – Arena Floor
• Mathy BGC – August 11: 5:30 pm-7 pm – 811 8th 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)

Wanting to volunteer?
We will need you! Please reach out to Courtney Kress at ckress@cclse.org to find a time to volunteer that works for you.

Thank you so much for your consideration and help as we could not fulfill this need without your generosity!

Please understand our Back2School Supply Program is a supplemental program. We will do our best to make sure basic needs are met.
