Deadline Approaching to Apply for Free School Supplies

The deadline is approaching to apply for free school supplies through Effingham County FISH Human Services. FISH provides school supplies for children in need residing in Effingham County.

Those needing supplies for students in Kindergarten through 8th Grade must complete an application for assistance by Friday, July 31. Applications are available at the FISH Service Center, which is located at the corner of Grove and Maple Streets in Effingham, or Catholic Charities, 1502 East Fayette Avenue.

Completed applications may be mailed to Effingham County FISH, PO Box 473, Effingham, IL 62401, or dropped off at the mailbox at the FISH Service Center or at Catholic Charities no later than Friday, July 31.

Applications received after July 31 will not be processed.

Once again, this is a notice for those applying for supplies, not a request for anyone to drop off supplies.
