Support over 175 children this back to school season

Each year Peaceful Paths provides over 175 children with the necessary supplies to ensure a successful start to the school year. Help A Child Today! We are collecting items now through July 25, 2020. 

​

This Summer, we plan to continue our stuffed backpack sponsorship program. This is an easy way for you to virtually support a child by donating a pre-stuffed backpack for $25 directly from our website. We anticipate a greater need this year due to COVID-19.

Once you have completed the online backpack sponsorship, we will do the rest! We will purchase and deliver the supplies to the students and send you a thank you in the mail :-)

​

If you would prefer to donate individual items, we can accept school supplies at our Outreach Center where we have a drop box. 2100 NW 53rd Avenue, Suite A Gainesville, FL 32653. 

Or if you prefer, you can order off our Amazon wish-list. 

Drop off hours: 9:30am to 4:30pm, Monday thru Friday (Preferably Mondays)
