Backpack School Supply Drive-through August 3, 2025

It’s time for the Backpack School Supply Collection.  We hope again to be able to supply stuffed backpacks to students in Chester and Upper Darby Communities.  Last year 510 backpacks were filled by 18 faith communities in Delaware County.  Here are 3 ways you can support the collection.

One way to contribute is via the links below to an Amazon Wishlist-School Supplies.  Place an order and it will be shipped directly to the crew that will assemble the backpacks. 

Link to the Amazon Wishlist:  tinyurl.com/School-Supply-Collection or use the QR Code: 

You can also make a monetary contribution via a link under Donations in the Ohev website.  Or mail/drop off checks at the office.  Checks should be made payable to Ohev Shalom and note School Supply in the memo line.  As in years past, you can do that shopping and drop off supplies in the Ohev lobby collection bins and at the annual picnic on July 16th!  See below for a list of supplies for both Elementary, Middle School and High School.
