Thousands of students in the Bloomington, Richfield and Edina school districts need help filling their backpacks this fall. Join us in supporting their academic success by making sure they have all the supplies they need for the year. VEAP will be collecting items and distributing to the school districts with the support of local faith communities, businesses and partners.
Collection bins will be placed at church entrances July 15-31.
Most Needed Supplies:
- Backpacks
- Scientific Calculators
- Wireless headphones/earbuds are high-demand items and the most impactful as they’re the most expensive for families to purchase on their own.
Other Needed Items:
- Notebooks
- Crayons
- Washable markers
- Other tradtional school supplies
Please make sure all items are new.
