Current Featured Initiative

Annual Backpack & School Supply Drive (July – August 2026)

Help our local students start the school year strong! We are officially in full swing with our
summer school supply drive to benefit the students of Belleview Elementary and Belleview-
Santos Elementary School. Having a filled backpack boosts confidence and removes barriers to
learning, and we want to ensure every local child feels supported.

We kicked things off with a blast over the Fourth of July weekend at the City of Belleview’s
fireworks celebration alongside Ocala Premier Inflatables, and now we need your help to keep
the momentum going!

Items Needed

New backpacks, notebooks, composition books, folders,
pencils, pens, crayons, scissors, glue sticks, and wide-ruled
paper.

Official Drop-Off Locations

Community members can drop off donations during regular weekday business hours at either of our two local hubs:
