Back-To-School Supply Drive

Back-To-School Supply Drive Donations Needed!

Children in our housing programs are in need of NEW school supplies for this upcoming school year. Our families have limited resources and purchasing items can be a financial burden. We invite you to help students in our housing programs start off this Back-To-School season with materials they need to succeed in the classroom.

School Supplies Drop Off

YWCA St. Paul Administration Office
375 Selby Avenue
St. Paul, MN 55102

Donations Accepted

10 am – 2 pm Mon.-Thurs. 

The Administration office is NEWLY reopened! Please go to the YWCA St. Paul entrance on Western across from Handsome Hog.

Supplies Needed

The items below are common to all grade levels and supply lists for school programs.

Supplemental Items Requested

Along with standard supplies, we’d like to include FUN Supplemental items for students to customize their backpacks!

Fidgets help kids concentrate, focus, and learn. They can also be a great calming tool and can reduce stress and anxiety. Art Sketch Books and art supplies benefit students and encourage them to explore their imaginations, provide a sense of accomplishment, and measure growth.

New Extended Hours Starting April 13!

Beginning Monday, April 13, the Health & Fitness Center will return to our 10:00 PM closing time Monday through Friday.
