Tools for School is a Barnabas Missions ministry that equips families from WMB and the greater community with the supplies they need to be successful at school.

How It Works

Parents connected to WMB through Barnabas Missions are invited to purchase donated school supplies at greatly reduced prices or in exchange for volunteered time. This mutual exchange of resources preserves the dignity of participating parents by removing the distinctions of “giver” and “receiver.” The best part is that families get to choose the specific items that they need to be equipped for school.

Review the list of supplies we’re collecting. We’ll be collecting donations at our Waterloo Site weekdays during office hours (9am-4pm), Sunday, July 30 through Sunday, August 20. Drop your items in the bin inside the main doors. Collection bins will also be accessible on Sunday mornings at both sites for those who attend services in person.
