School Supply Store
How it works!
Low-income families are given a voucher to purchase items for their children at the Galveston Urban Ministries School Supply Store at 80% off the regular price of the item. Galveston Urban Ministries philosophy on assistance is that providing discounted items (instead of free items) allows people to participate in providing for their families and to shop with dignity. Income from the School Supply Store is used for the purchase of more supplies for the store.
