Beatitude House seeks donations for kids

YOUNGSTOWN

Beatitude House is seeking donations of back-to-school supplies for the homeless and disadvantaged children it serves. They range in age from elementary to high school and attend various schools.

The children need traditional school supplies, but also items such as three-ring binders, flash drives, note cards, book covers, pencil boxes, tissues, hand sanitizer, paper towels, sandwich-size and large zipper-type plastic bags, sanitizing wipes, dry-erase markers, Play-doh, wide-rule and college-rule notebooks and loose-leaf paper.

Donations of backpacks, lunch bags and gift cards that can be used to buy school clothing, shoes, socks and underwear are appreciated.

To donate, bring items from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday to the Beatitude administrative offices, 238 Tod Lane, on the campus of St. Edward Parish in Youngstown; or to the Warren location, 1370 Tod Ave. NW.

All items are needed by Aug. 7. For information, visit www.beatitudehouse.com.
