2026 Back-to-School Supplies Drive

Thank You for Supporting Local Students!

A new school year brings fresh opportunities, but many local children still need basic classroom supplies. The Ruth Beale Circle at Lyndale Baptist Church is collecting school supply donations for a nearby elementary school, with delivery planned for September.

Bring donated items to the Community Resource Room in the East Wing at Lyndale before Sunday, September 6th. Prefer to let us shop for you? Simply designate your monetary donation to the "School Supplies" campaign.
