OUR 2022 SCHOOL SUPPLY DRIVE IS CURRENTLY UNDERWAY

 AND WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Christians in Action strives to ensure that every less fortunate child in the Olmsted Falls school system is provided with the necessary tools to succeed and learn.  CIA helps children start the school year with confidence because they now have what every other child has.  They are not left out and are equipped to succeed! 

School supplies are provided for children in grades Kindergarten through 12th grade, once a year every August.  All children MUST be registered with Christians In Acton.  Supplies are collected, sorted and pre-bagged by grade and distributed to each registered child. All supplies are based on the generous donations from the Olmsted Falls community.  Please donate and change the life of a child in need!  All donations are needed by August 11th!  

IF DONATING SCHOOL SUPPLIES – Please package the supplies and label them “CIA – School Supplies” and leave in the St. Mary of the Falls Hunger Hurt Barrels in the vestibules at the church.    Donations are also accepted at the Olmsted Community Center and the Olmsted Community Church.    Please leave in designated barrels.   Christians in Action are solely responsible for claiming the contents of those barrels.

Monetary donations are also accepted.  https://www.ofcia.org/donate    Please indicate “School Supplies” with your donation.
