What We Need

Operation: Kid Equip holds one large community-wide drive starting in July of each year to help our local community become engaged in our work and help OKE collect basic school supplies for re-distribution in our community.  Together we can help our local children in need.

The 2010 Crayon Quest Supply Drive will run July 15, 2010 through August 30, 2010.

These are the types of new items we’re seeking to collect:

• Composition Notebooks (wide ruled; usually have a marble-like cover)
• Copy Paper (reams)
• Crayons (8, 16 or 24 count)
• Erasers (rubber; sometimes pink in color)
• Glue Sticks
• Glue Bottles
• Looseleaf (wide ruled)
• Markers (washable)
• Pencils (No. 2)
• Pens (black, blue or red)
• Rulers
• Scissors (blunt tip)
• Spiral notebooks (wide ruled; 70 pages)
• Backpacks (new or gently used)

All of the items we collect help stock our Oakland County Teachers’ Annex, and are also used in the backpacks we distribute directly to students throughout Southeastern Michigan.

If you want to do something now, you don’t need to wait for the Crayon Quest campaign.  Operation: Kid Equip is open year-round and we welcome the opportunity for donations, drives and campaigns throughout the year.
