The Bedford Lions Club, Bedford Presbyterian Church, and the Bedford Rotary Club are once again joining together for Supplies for Success—a community partnership dedicated to equipping local elementary school teachers and students with the supplies they need for a successful school year.
Each organization brings a shared commitment to serving our neighbors:
The Bedford Lions Club: “We Serve.”
Bedford Presbyterian Church: A Matthew 25 congregation committed to serving God by serving our neighbors.
Rotary and Interact: “Service Above Self.”
Together, we’re supporting 35+ classrooms in Manchester, helping teachers create welcoming learning environments and ensuring students have access to essential classroom supplies.

Join us as we assemble classroom supply boxes for local elementary schools. Families, youth, community members, and service organizations are all welcome to lend a hand!
Needed Donations
We are collecting supplies for classroom supply boxes (70 + boxes needed). Especially needed are:
Facial tissues
Paper towels
Hand sanitizer
Clorox® or Lysol® disinfecting wipes
Donations may be dropped off at the church anytime before August 23. Please bring donations by August 17 if possible.
You will find more information and donation lists at this sign-up link for the event: Supplies for Success 8/23 Packing Event
If you would like to donate the classroom supply boxes themselves, they may also be delivered to the church before the packing day.
Looking Ahead
Our commitment to local students continues throughout the school year.
November: Warm Winter Gear Drive (coats, snow pants, boots, hats, mittens, and gloves)
February: Mid-Year Classroom Restock to replenish supplies that teachers have used during the first half of the school year.
With your help, we can ensure that teachers have the tools they need, students can focus on learning, and every child begins the school year knowing their community cares.
Thank you for helping us make a difference—one classroom, one teacher, and one student at a time.
