Assistance League Greater Cincinnati
College Starter Kits
Many first year college students depend on grants and financial aid for their tuition leaving little money for school supplies. Assistance League of Greater Cincinnati recognized this need and responded with a program that furnishes back-to-school supplies. The kits are filled with essential items such as a calculator, dictionary, paper, pens, stapler and other basic school items. One recipient stated “it felt like Christmas” to receive the school supply kit. Students returning for their second year, receive refresher kits. More than 150 kits have been distributed to students at Chatfield College since the program began in 2005. In 2006, the program was expanded to include students at Raymond Walters College. 30 students received their back-to-school supply kit. For the 2007-2008 school year, more than 170 college starter kits will be distributed to four different colleges which include: Raymond Walters, Chatfield, Thomas Moore and University of Cincinnati Clermont college.
