Fuel a Child’s Future: Riverside’s Back-to-School Supply Drive

At The Riverside Church, we believe every child deserves to step into the new school year feeling confident, prepared, and supported by their community.

This year, we’re calling on YOU to join us for our Back-to-School Supply Drive because when we come together, we don’t just give supplies, we give hope, opportunity, and a future filled with endless possibilities.

🗓️ Supply Drive Dates: June 3rd – August 3rd
📍 Drop-off Location: The Riverside Church, Claremont Entrance 91 Claremont Ave, New York, NY 10027
🕘 Donation Hours: Sunday–Saturday | 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
🛒 Prefer to shop online? Ship directly to The Riverside Church!

What We’re Collecting:

• New backpacks ready for big dreams

• Bright notebooks & folders for bold ideas

• Pens, pencils, and crayons to ignite creativity

• Lunchboxes, water bottles, and more — because care comes in every form

• Tissues, hand sanitizer, and supplies for a safe, healthy start

How You Can Help:

💛 Drop off new supplies any day of the week, 9 AM–5 PM, starting June 3rd!
💛 Shop our online Wish List — Don’t have time to shop in person use our online wishlist.

Why It Matters:

A simple backpack. A few sharpened pencils. A fresh notebook. To us, they’re small things.
To a child, they are a symbol that someone believes in them. That their dreams matter. That their future is worth investing in.

Let’s ensure that every child has a bright start to the school year and the chance to imagine the impossible.

✨ Thank you for being part of this movement of love, community, and care. ✨
