Help out our neighborhood school! Contribute to the Peabody School Supply Drive.

The CYCA is organizing a school supply drive for our neighborhood elementary school, Peabody Elementary! If you'd like to support these kids & teachers, please consider donating! Their requests are pencils, pens, dry erase markers, scissors, supply caddies, bulletin board letters, popsicle sticks, & 18 qt storage bins. We've tried to make this easy as possible by creating an Amazon list that you can order from to have supplies sent directly to the school. Also feel free to bring supplies by our office at 2298 Young Ave M-F, 10-4, or to our Thirsty Thursday event on Aug 20 at Memphis Whistle.
