Helping students start the school year strong
Oxford Supplies4Students is a program to assist financially vulnerable Oxford County families in need of assistance with school supplies for their children. This program is only intended for families struggling to afford additional back-to-school expenses, who live in Oxford County, and whose children are registered and attend Grades JK-12 at an Oxford County publicly funded school (Thames Valley District School Board, London District Catholic School Board, Conseil Scolaire Catholique Providence).
