It’s almost time for school to start back. Each new year refugee parents struggle to provide their children with backpacks and school supplies. Not only is the cost difficult for them understanding the required list is often confusing. We need your help.

Asha’s Refuge is collecting school supplies and backpacks. We need backpacks, fabric lunch boxes, wide ruled paper, glue sticks, color pencils, pencils and pens, fiskars blunt tip scissors, quart size zip log bags, baby wipes, Kleenex, 10 pack markers, 24 pack crayons, plastic rulers, pencil pouches, 2″ 3-ring binders, spiral notebooks, highlighters, red ink pens, plastic pocket folders w/ brads, 3×5″ index cards, water color packs, sharpie’s and 1st and 2nd grade writing tablets.

We are also in need of school uniforms…all sizes. Navy or Khaki pants or long skirts (ankle length), white polo shirts and white children’s or teenage sized socks.

If you can help, you may bring any of these supplies to anyone on our Asha’s Staff or contact me, Jamie Koch, at 901-292-3101 or jamie@ashasrefuge.org. Thank you for your help!
