School Supply Drive

Every summer, Southminster works with Chesterfield County Support Services to provide school supplies for low income families with special needs children.  Each year we are able to send, on average, 70 children to school with the tools to learn.

The School Supply Drive kicks off in mid-summer.  Watch this page for details on the 2018 Drive.
