Did you know there are 400 children in Nassau County who are without a home of their own? From July 1st – July 28th, in partnership with Families in Transition Nassau County Schools (FIT), the Barnabas Center is helping to collect basic school supplies so the students can start the year off successfully. There are three ways you can help!

- Visit our donation page and make a financial contribution so we can shop for the students. The donation page can be found at https://barnabasnassau.org/donate/. Please select school supplies in the drop-down box to designate to the program.
- Visit us Monday – Thursday from 9:00 am – 4:00 pm and drop off supplies to our main office at 1303 Jasmine St. Suite 101, Fernandina Beach, FL 32034. Visit our Amazon Wish list above for ideas. All donations must be received no later than Thursday, July 28th.
