It is almost that time again! The Free Back to School Store will be asking for donations again. Think of us when you are going through your clothes and doing a spring clean! We are asking for new and gently used clothing size 4-adult. We ask that there are no stains and that it is school appropriate. Any season is welcome. Please no used underwear, bras, or socks. No swim wear and no shoes. We purchase new shoes and have no storage or way to clean them. We are also seeking donations of school supplies, backpacks, and laundry detergent, new hygiene items, and new in package socks and underwear. We take used prom and dance attire for boys and girls. Again, we thank you for your donations! Donations can be dropped off at the Methodist Church across from Hardee's from April 1st-30th. Chris Gutierrez will not be able to help unload but he can guide you where to go! If that doesn't work for you feel free to reach out to drop donations off directly to me at my house. Cassie Malloy is in charge of this event and any questions can be directed to her via email [email protected] or direct message. If anyone wishes to donate money or time to the event please contact directly. Each year our event grows in some way and I can't thank you all enough. πŸ™πŸ©·

I am happy to announce that Dr Nathan Kirby has decided to pair up with The Imagine Hillsboro Free Back to School Store this year. He will be providing eye exams that are required for Kindergarten and some screenings if you think your child needs glasses. He will not be able to order the child glasses but he will be able to provide you with your prescription to take else where to purchase glasses. He is donating his time for the kids in our community! Such an awesome gesture and it's no surprise. Thank you Nathan! We look forward to having you.
