Dear ACSD Families,

Winter is fast approaching and Ames Community School District wants to ensure that every child is WARM! We would like to give our families the opportunity to GIVE and RECEIVE during this time.

TO GIVE: Please consider donating gently used or new winter gear such as coats, hats, waterproof gloves, snow pants, and boots (all sizes welcome-please place in a tied grocery bag to keep boots together). Please wash/dry donations prior to dropping off. Donations will be accepted October 19- November 1 at Harvest Vineyard Church (320 S 17th St, Ames), AMS, Edwards, Fellows, Meeker, Mitchell and District Office.

TO RECEIVE: Please fill out the information below and return to your school by October 29, 2021.  If you need more than one item, please indicate the most needed item. You will be notified by email with a timeframe to pick up your requested items on November 8, 2021 at Edwards Elementary School.
