School supply shopping has officially begun, and the list grow larger every year. Are your students in need of school supplies? Reach out to these community organizations for resources and assistance with materials, clothing and food. Madison is here for you!
You can usually reach out to your child’s school as they often have free supplies available for incoming students. Reach out to your child’s teacher, school administrator or school district to see if there are any local programs available for families who are struggling financially.
