Updates on Our Community

Back to School 2023

Springboro Community Assistance Center returns to its regular hours with the start of the new school year.

Our choice pantry will be open from 1 to 3 p.m. on August 14 and we will have school supplies available.

School resumes August 15 and our hours will change again.

Beginning August 28, we will return to our regular hours - 3 to 4:30 p.m. on the second and fourth Mondays of each month.

Other upcoming dates include: Sept. 11 and 25, Oct. 23 and Nov. 13 and 27. Please remember, if the schools are closed, we are closed too.

Thank goodness it's Friday and thank goodness for Leo Colussi and Chloe Creamer.

These two SHS freshmen volunteered with us all summer and were a huge help! They even stuck around after shopping with neighbors to clean!

Thank you Leo and Chloe!

Thank you to staff and members at Megacorps Fitness (pictured). Their recent food drive was very generous.

Springboro's church-sponsored food drives also continued. Thanks to members of Covenant Presbyterian Church and Springboro United Church of Christ for your ongoing generosity.

We appreciate our community so much!

You can help SCAC keep the food flowing in many different ways. If you shop at Kroger or Dorothy Lane Market, register your rewards cards so their Community Rewards and Good Neighbor Programs benefit SCAC.

These donations DO make a difference. Between May 1 and July 31, more than $700 made its way to SCAC thanks to 121 households who shop at Kroger with registered cards.

Go online to www.kroger.com or www.dorothylane.com or visit customer service. A percentage of your total will be donated to SCAC every time you shop.

SCAC is a proud partner
