Support Local Kids in Foster Care with School Supplies

ScienceWorks is excited to host a school supply donation drive in support of our local foster community! We’re partnering with the Jackson County Foster Parent Association, which collects supplies year-round to help children in foster care start school with the tools they need to succeed.


Now through September 28, you can drop off donations in the bin located next to our front desk. Pencils, notebooks, backpacks, crayons — every item makes a difference for a child in our community.


Join us in helping local kids feel prepared and supported this school year. Together, we can support curiosity, learning, and confidence.
