Hi,
We are going to send you a couple options as you are late. The direct school supply giveaways in Memphis is here. But those tend to be "early" in the year with details here on Memphis TN area school supply giveaways
The other option is a clothes closet. Some have books, clothes for kids, etc. While not as school focused, they operate year round and look here for free clothes in Memphis.

I'm reaching out in regard to school supply assistance for my sweet boys.
I'm a single mama of three boys and need any help possible, with the approaching back to school season then holidays. My husband has been diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer and we are down to one income. Times are so hard! :(
If you're not too busy this year, I'm praying there is room for Caiden, Grayson, and Cameron on the school giveaway list. I'm trying to apply with ample time to ensure everything is completed before it's too late. I hope I'm not too late!? :(
Just in case, below, you will find the boy's names and ages to help with the process. We live in Memphis.

Hi Hailey
There are several free school supply programs in Shelby County. While of course a Chromebook/computer for a student is not as common, the other supplies she needs (clothes, backpack, etc.) are more common. Find the free school supply giveaways in Memphis here. https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... plies.html

My name is Hailey. I am not sure if this is the correct email or person to contact for Memphis school supply programs, or how to ask for help. I haven't done this before. It's a long story of how I got to this point, but recently struggling for basic needs let alone being able to give My daughter clothes and school stuff. I have worked the entire past year.
I moved here last year to Memphis TN, while still in IL I was working 3 jobs. I have had employment this entire year, so I didn't think I would quality for help.... and well as all know it's hard to ask, but I am begging now for help to give my daughter shoes, a Chromebook and all the school supplies she needs. My hours were cut and I was let go from the employment that I was making ends meet with and was able to find another job within 48 hours. I currently waitress at small restaurant, but am only making like 300 a week tops for full time employment, barely enough to pay rent. I am looking for a second job still, but I know that start of school is creeping up on me fast and I'm behind on bills. My second job once find will only help get out of debit not be able to splurge. If there is anything we qualify for at all or anything/anyone who can help provided my daughter Sophie with Christmas. I would be forever grateful.
