School Supply Collection Begins in August 2024

From August 12 to August 26, 2024, Ancramdale Neighbors Helping Neighbors Association will collect school supplies at three locations. The locations are only able to accept your donations during the collection dates.

Please do not drop off donations before or after the collection dates.

Ancram – please leave school supplies at the Ancram Town Hall during Town Hall business hours.

Ancram and Ancramdale Post Offices – please leave school supplies inside the post offices in the box marked school supplies.

We collect school supplies for the Pine Plains, Taconic Hills, and Webutuck schools.

We have been advised that there are children in our communities who need our support. The school supplies ANHNA collects, and purchases help offset some of the out-of-pocket expenses our local teachers regularly must make to keep their students supplied.

Ancram Township students and local schools were most appreciative of the supplies we’ve donated in the past, and with your generous help, we hope we can do even better this year!

Many school supplies are on sale now at nearby stores. If you are not able to shop for these items yourself, we will accept donations and, in turn, purchase the supplies the students need.

Please make your check payable to ANHNA, note “school supplies” on the memo line, and mail your contribution to PO Box 97, Ancramdale, NY 12503. We can now accept most credit cards and debit cards through our ANHNA PayPal account: https://bit.ly/ANHNA-donate, – on second screen tap on write a note and type in “school supplies.” You don’t need a PayPal account to donate.

Your contribution is tax deductible to the full extent of the law as we are a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) corporation.
