Temple's Sisterhood is chairing a school supplies campaign to support foster children through Jewish Family and Community Services (JFCS). Each year, JFCS collects supplies for families with low and no income. The requirement for community support is elevated this year as families manage the rising costs of basic necessities like housing and food.

Your donation directly equips a child with the required materials for the classroom. When visiting The Temple, please bring your donated school supplies by Friday, July 24, 2026.

Requested Supplies:
  • Backpacks (clear or mesh)
  • Binders (3-ring, 1.5 to 2 inches)
  • Crayons
  • Colored Pencils
  • Composition Books
  • Construction Paper
  • Erasers (large pink and pencil cap)
  • Expo Markers (dry erase)
  • Glue Sticks
  • Highlighters (all colors)
  • Index Cards
  • Loose Leaf Paper (wide and college ruled)
  • Pencils (mechanical with extra lead)
  • Pencil Bags or cases

  • Pens (black, blue, and red)
  • Pocket Folders (plastic, 3-prong)
  • Rulers
  • Scientific Calculators
  • Scissors (blunt tip safety scissors for children, and regular scissors for middle school)
