The Salvation
Army - Tools for School
Applications accepted July 19 and 20
It is time to start thinking about going back to school. If
you are a parent and are concerned about getting school
supplies for your child local organizations formed Class Act
Lucas County to make it easier for you this year. Lucas
County residents can simply call 2-1-1; after answering a
few questions the operator will help you find the best way
to receive school supplies for your child.
One of the organizations providing backpacks is The
Salvation Army. They are accepting applications this week,
July 19 and 20 from 9:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.-3:00
p.m. The Salvation Army is encouraging parents to call 2-1-1
first to make sure another organization isn’t providing
backpacks at their school or in their area code. If you are
referred to The Salvation Army you will need to bring with
you a photo ID, proof of address and birth certificates for
all school aged children you are applying for.
The Salvation Army also has Tools for School programs in
Ottawa and Wood County; Ottawa County residents can contact
the Port Clinton Salvation Army service center at (419)
732-2769 and Wood County residents can contact the Bowling
Green Salvation Army service center at (419) 352-5918. |
