Is there a list of free school supplies in NJ?

[Naomie]

My name is Breana and I am struggling to make rent this month and get my kids stuff for school. Thankfully my utilities are included in my rent. If it weren’t for me getting my nephews adopted for a local charity they wouldn't have even gotten sneakers for school but they need so many other supplies. Here's a little more about my situation... I recently rescued my sister in Newark NJ and her 2 young boys from an abusive relationship. On the way home to Camden New Jersey from rescuing her I wrecked my vehicle. I recently became unemployed but have been actively looking for work. I couldn't find my state or county on your website. I live in Camden NJ. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Hi Jaqueline
It really depends on where you live in NJ, as most free school supply programs are local. But since we do not know your county, maybe try the Salvation Army. Most of them are involved in giving out free stuff for school to kids of all ages. Find details on the Salvation Army in NJ. https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... _fina.html

Good afternoon,
My name is Jaqueline, I am a single mother of a 6 year old and 10 year old. Due to getting COVID 19I am not working since March, 2024. The clinic said it may be long COVID as I am still not well. I was wondering if you can help me by giving a school backpack for my daughter. My son needs sneakers and a backpack too as well as some new clothes for school.
