2026 Back to School Supply Drive
DEADLINE: August 2nd
Dear friends of St. Paul’s,
Please join us in supporting our sixth annual back to school supply drive!
This is the sixth year that St. Paul’s Episcopal Church has supported K-5 students in three local elementary schools and two junior high schools by providing much needed school supplies. Inflation, tariffs and so many cuts in education have made the cost of everything go up, and school supplies are no exception. Providing needed school supplies is a wonderful way we can help set the stage for a successful academic year for these students.
The five schools that we support are:
· St. Paul’s Episcopal School. · Madison Academy, Oakland. · The students in the afterschool program at La Primera Iglesias, a Spanish Language congregation in East Oakland. · Two junior high schools in Oakland
This year we would like to support 150 students. The deadline for collecting supplies is August 2nd
There are several ways that you can help.
1. Purchase supplies on the list below: For younger children, select thicker pencils, markers etc. and blunt tipped scissors. The approximate cost per student is about $30 for all the supplies on the list. If you would like to purchase supplies, please buy all items on the list below or multiples thereof. You may drop off your supplies in the St. Paul’s church narthex on Sunday morning (114 Montecito Ave) between 9:30-11:30
OR 2. Make a donation. You may drop a check in the offering plate, mail your check to the office, or donate online now: HERE
Choose “Give to Back to School ” in the drop-down menu.
OR 3. Help us assemble bags for each student on Sunday, August 2nd, after church at 11:30 in the courtyard.
SUPPLIES NEEDED (for each student)
#2 pencils (wide for K-2 students, regular for grades 3-5)
Pink wedge erasers
Colored pencils

Glue sticks
Single subject wide ruled spiral notebook

ST. PAUL’S PANTRY OF HOPE: Feeding our neighbors
The Pantry of Hope gives 80-100 bags of food twice a month to our neighbors throughout the year (over 2,000 bags of food). Last Christmas day we delivered over 400 prepared hot meals to our neighbors in need. With the cost of food on the rise and the social safety net shrinking, the need is great.
Efforts like this require both a tremendous volunteer effort and money to purchase groceries and meals. In this season of generosity, please consider making a gift to the St. Paul’s Pantry of Hope to make outreach like this possible.
You can make your donation by credit card or bank transfer HERE (choose Pantry of Hope from the drop down menu) or by check mailed to the church office or placed in the offering plate any Sunday before Christmas, with “Pantry of Hope” in the memo.
Please also consider volunteering. Contact Archdeacon Carolyn Bolton for more information.
