Get free school supplies from Boys and Girls Clubs of Contra Costa

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY—Running short on school supplies? The Boys and Girls Clubs of Contra Costa can help.

They will deliver school supplies to your home. If you need more writing paper, notebooks, pencils, colored pencils, or other school supplies please sign up here.

So far they have given away more than 1,400 School Supply Kits. Each kit includes things like binders, rulers, notebooks, pencils, and markers needed for schoolwork.

They deliver these school supplies each week on Fridays. Any requests coming in after Wednesday at noon will roll over to the next week’s deliveries.

Virtual Clubhouse relaunch

The Boys & Girls Clubs have also relaunched their online Clubhouse. Because of COVID-19 and the Shelter-In-Place Order, their commitment to serve area youth means they have had to look for ways to adapt and find new ways to support the community.

The Clubhouse provides online program videos, deliveries of supply boxes to follow along to the program videos, live interactive content with trained program specialists, and opportunities to enter into fun competitions.

Local staff who have built strong relationships with Club kids will lead all of the programs.

Over the upcoming weeks they plan to roll out further programs as well. Check their site to see what’s new.
