Joshua House Back-to-School Drive

We're partnering with Friends of Joshua House for a Back to School Drive. Join us in our efforts to equip foster children in our community with the tools they need for success in school and life.

We invite you to drop off donations at any of our branches in Hillsborough, Pinellas, or Pasco counties until August 5th. We're collecting backpacks, folders, and other essential school supplies. You can also purchase items from the Friends of Joshua House Amazon wishlist or make an online donation. 

Your efforts can make a significant difference in the lives of foster youth! Together, we are making a positive impact.

When: Saturday, July 27, from 9-11 a.m.

We're excited to support the Maverick’s Backpacks & Brunch event at the State College of Florida on Saturday, July 27th.
