Ready Set School

(Link to text & logo??)

Ready Set School, a program of the Winona County Collaborative, helps children get basic supplies to succeed in school. Qualification for the program is based upon income and family size. Your generous donation can help all children get the most out of school. That’s good for them, our schools, and our community.

In the spring, information about Ready Set School is conveyed to all parents of children who are attending grades K-12 in any public or private school in Winona County. The cooperation of Winona County schools and school districts is a vital part of this effort. If a request for assistance comes from a household with an income that qualifies, the household will be given a voucher for each child, attending K-12, in the household. The voucher must be used to purchase school supplies and clothing.

In the fall, school supplies will be delivered to every school, private and public, in Winona County. School Staff and teachers will distribute the donated supplies to those children who need them throughout the year. The school supplies come from private donations. Most of these supplies are donated during the months of July and August when Ready Set School places donation barrels in various Winona County businesses. Customers are encouraged to purchase school supplies and place them in the donation barrels.
