Supporting Students, Strengthening Families, Building Community
Time4Change Support Services is proud to partner with Arise Behavioral Health and other community organizations in support of the Community School Readiness Initiative.
As families continue to face rising costs and increasing financial pressures, preparing children for a new school year can be challenging. Access to school supplies, basic necessities, and community resources can make a meaningful difference in helping students begin the school year prepared, confident, and ready to succeed.
This initiative focuses on collecting new school supplies and connecting youth and families with valuable community resources and supports. The effort will conclude with a Community School Readiness Event on August 8, 2026, where families can access school supplies and learn about programs and services available throughout the region.
How You Can Help
Community members, businesses, organizations, churches, and service providers can support the initiative by:
Donating new school supplies
Hosting a collection box or supply drive
Sharing information with their networks
Participating as a community resource partner
Volunteering at the event
Additional Community Needs
Many families also experience challenges related to food insecurity and access to basic necessities. In partnership with community organizations, donations of non-perishable food items, hygiene products, and household essentials are welcomed and help support individuals and families facing immediate needs.
Community Impact Starts With Us
At Time4Change Support Services, we believe lasting change happens when communities work together. Whether through recovery support, education, advocacy, or community partnerships, every contribution helps create opportunities for individuals and families to thrive.
