Where:
Secular Hub
254 Knox Ct
Denver, CO 80219

The Secular Hub is starting a school supply drive to benefit Denver Public Schools through its charitable support arm, the DPS Foundation. We may also send supplies directly to Barnum Elementary school, right in our own neighborhood. If you would like to donate, there will be several large boxes or receptacles on the Hub’s main floor for this purpose. We’ll sort through them later. We are checking with the DPS Foundation as to whether they also accept cash donations.

This school supply drive will last through mid-August.

IMPORTANT: See the list below of needed items. Also note the short list of things that are NOT requested or needed.

Thank you very much!
Becky Greben, Secretary
Secular Hub Board of Directors
