Tools for Catholic Schools
Supply Drive


August 4 –11, 2019

Many of our Catholic School students have limited means to acquire the requisite school supplies (“tools”). Several parishes already have collections to help; however, this year the diocesan Office of Catholic Schools and the Office for Social Concerns are partnering with Generations Religious Gifts to support a diocesan-wide drive to help supplement those collections – “Tools for Catholic Schools” – from August 4-11.  
Three Ways to Donate:

1)   Drop off supplies in the box at your parish

2)   Drive-by supply drop-off at Generations Religious Gifts on Sunday, August 11 th between 1:00 PM and 4:00 PM (1095 Dublin Rd. Cols., OH 43215, 614-451-7155)

3)   Financial Donation : A $10.00 gift will purchase a backpack filled with supplies. A $300 gift will provide supplies for a whole classroom of students!

Cash and Check Donations Accepted at Generations or the Diocese of Columbus Office of Catholic Schools (197 E. Gay St., Columbus, OH 43215, 614-221-5829)

* Please make all checks out to the Diocese of Columbus with Tools for Schools in the memo line.
