Sieda Community Action and additional groups in the counties we serve will be holding a variety of back-to-school resource events. For your county and the event(s) that might be a helpful source of school supplies please look at the table below. There are many wonderful and generous groups in the counties we serve that are doing what they can to help needy families in our communities.

Sieda this year has partnered with many school supply distributions events and fairs in several of our counties, including Appanoose and Wapello. Sieda will be holding its own school supply pickup at our  Jefferson County Sieda Resource Center. Please pick up an application. 

At many of the distributions, Sieda will help provide school supplies and/or backpacks for students. Hope to see you there!

Below are the dates, details, and linked flyers, forms, or applications for the distributions throughout our counties:
