2025 Back-to-School Supply Drive for the Crime Victims’ Center of Chester County

As the new school year approaches, the Independence Chapter of ALA is once again rallying our generous community to support the Back-to-School Supply Drive, benefiting the Crime Victims’ Center of Chester County. Many families are struggling to provide essential school items, and with your help, we can ease that burden and ensure students start the year equipped and confident.

We’ve been informed that the need is greater than ever this year—they’re in need of everything! Requested items include (but are not limited to):

✏️ Pens, pencils, crayons, and markers

🖍️ Highlighters and dry erase markers

🧼 Erasers and sharpeners

🎒 Pencil pouches/cases

✂️ Scissors and glue sticks

📚 Notebooks, binders, and folders

📄 Loose leaf paper and dividers

📇 Index cards

📏 Rulers and protractors

🧮 Calculators

Whether you’re able to donate supplies or make a monetary contribution, every bit helps. Drop-offs are welcome at the following locations:

High Swartz Offices

·         Norristown: 40 E Airy Street

·         Doylestown: 116 E Court Street

Unruh Turner Burke & Frees

·         West Chester: 17 West Gay Street, Suite 200

🗓️ Please submit donations by August 5, 2025, to ensure students have what they need for a successful start to the school year. For alternate arrangements, feel free to contact me directly.

Thank you for joining us in supporting this important initiative. Your generosity truly makes a difference!

Warm regards,
