Help the Kids in Need Drive! Donate School Supplies

The Community Development Committee of The Greater Bethesda-Chevy Chase Chamber of Commerce has implemented a school drive for needy children. Entering its fourth year, the KIND (Kids in Need Drive) program is a community-based effort to collect school supplies for children in our area. The need for school supplies is a universal one that we all can recognize. A child cannot build for the future if they do not have the tools to start a strong foundation.

The drive allows all members of the community to participate at any level of donation, whether it is a box of pencils, to a complete list of supplies. The recipients of the KIND program are children from the National Center for Children & Families and the Betty Ann Kranke Center and other less fortunate children in our community.

Donations can include any of the following materials:

  • 3 ring loose-leaf binder notebook
  • Wide-ruled notebook paper
  • Subject dividers for loose-leaf notebooks
  • Spiral notebooks
  • Composition notebooks
  • Blue or black ink pens
  • #2 Pencils with erasers
  • Box of assorted crayons (No more than 24 colors.)
  • Box of colored pencils
  • Erasers
  • Glue stick
  • School box with lid
  • Pen/pencil pouch (hole punched for 3 ring notebook)
  • Three pocket folders
  • Highlighter markers
  • Ruler with holes for 3 ring notebook
  • Protractors
  • Scissors (for safety reasons, please do not donate large pointed shears)

Collections take place throughout the area in boxes that are clearly marked with signs indicating what the collection is for. The last date to drop off donations is August 23rd. Box locations include:

Drop-off places for school supplies include:

  • BCC Chamber office (7910 Woodmont Avenue, Suite 1204, Bethesda)
