How It Works

Parents connected to WMB through Barnabas Missions are invited to purchase donated school supplies at greatly reduced prices or in exchange for volunteered time. This mutual exchange of resources preserves the dignity of participating parents by removing the distinctions of “giver” and “receiver.” The best part is that families get to choose the specific items that they need to be equipped for school.

Review the list of supplies we’re collecting (new and good quality, please!). We’ll be collecting donations at both sites on Sunday mornings Sunday, July 27 through Sunday, August 17 as well as on weekdays at our Waterloo Site during office hours (9am-4pm). Drop your items in the bin inside the main doors.
