Help local students start the school year prepared and ready to learn. From June 1 through Aug 3, Galilee Center will be collecting school supplies for children in our community ahead of our Back-to-School Distribution on August 6.

Items can be dropped off at 66-101 Hammond Rd, Mecca. Interested in supporting the drive by serving as a collection site? Please call 760-396-9100. Monetary contributions are also welcome, please donate at galileecenter.org/donate

Needed items include:

  • Backpacks
  • Pencils & mechanical pencils
  • Pens

For many families, these simple items make a meaningful difference and help children begin the school year with confidence and excitement for learning.
