There are three ways to get involved:

School supplies drop-off: 555 North Thomas St., Arlington, VA, 22203 on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 10 AM to 1 PM. Email lfeiler@apah.org.

Supplies: K-5th grade
wide ruled paper
folders
single subject notebooks
composition book
pencils (single count)
pack of markers
pack of dry erase markers
highlighters (single count)
pack of crayons
pack of erasers

Supplies: 6th-12th grade
pack of college ruled notebook paper
