News Release

MILFORD — The Kiwanis Club of Milford and the Milford Methodist Meeting House are excited to announce a new service to the community. The Teachers’ Toolbox will open in the MMMH to start the 2022-23 school year.

The Teachers’ Toolbox will house teacher and student supplies. The program is modeled after “Tools For Schools,” a Kiwanis project that serves the Goshen schools. The Teachers’ Toolbox will only be for Milford School at this point.

A student supplies distribution day will be scheduled in August. In the beginning, teacher supplies will be available on a once-a-month basis.

Donations will be accepted during the Meet Milford event on July 15. Harvest Coffee, Bobi’s Shear Success and the Van Buren Township trustee’s office will be drop-off locations for supplies as well as providing supply lists. The drop-off box at the Van Buren Township trustee’s office will only be available on Wednesdays.

Monetary donations can be sent to The Kiwanis Club of Milford, P.O. Box 141, Milford, IN 46542. Include “Teachers’ Toolbox” in the memo line.

Ongoing needs for students include boxes of facial tissue, disinfectant wipes, hand sanitizer, earbuds or headphones, No. 2 pencils, loose-leaf paper and two-pocket plastic folders.

Volunteers will be needed to pick up, deliver and organize supplies and help when the Teachers’ Toolbox is open.
