Community Center
Donate school supplies at this year’s school supply drive.
All donations will benefit our community partner, The Action Center. The center helps close to 5,000 children in Jefferson County and those experiencing homelessness start the school year right. We provide children in Pre-K through Grade 12 with a bag of school supplies and a new backpack. With the support of Mile Hi’s donations, we can make sure each child and their families are ready to start school on a firm footing.
If you’d like to donate online, you can purchase items needed from our Amazon wish list through Thursday, July 20.
See our Wish List here.
Monetary donations will also be accepted at the drive. Or checks can be mailed to Mile Hi Church at 9077 W. Alameda Avenue, Lakewood, CO, 80226. Please add “School Supply Drive” in the memo line of the check.
Download the shopping list of needed supplies here.
We ask that you please do not put the school supplies inside the backpacks. It adds an extra step to the sorting process for The Action Center and they end up unpacking and then repacking the supplies for distribution. Thank you!
