The Tartan Supply Hub’s grand opening
February 27, 2020
On Tuesday, February 11th the Tartan Supply Hub was opened. The Tartan Supply Hub is a DECA run support for students in need where they can get food, clothing, items for personal hygiene, and school supplies. Previously, the room wasn’t used for anything, and the DECA students took it and transformed it into the Supply Hub in only one week. In the short time the Hub has been open, it has already helped many Tartan Students get what they need every day. The Hub is located in the cafeteria beside the stage, and is open for any who need it.
Currently, the Hub isn’t accepting student donations, but in the future they are planning on doing so in addition to donations they are already receiving from Guardian Angels church and from different dentists offices in the area. The Hub has a wide variety of goods that have been donated, but they’re looking for suggestions from the student body as to what is needed the most. Currently the clothing items they have range from shoes to shirts, and they even have undergarments available as well. Food items available include different cereals, juice boxes, granola bars, and a variety of other goods. The available hygienic items are shampoos and conditioners, toothbrushes and toothpaste, pads and tampons, and other important personal care items. For school supplies, they have a variety of essentials available like pencils and folders. If you have any suggestions for anything they should add, or want to know anything more, you can contact Mr. Spreiter at [email protected].
Thank you for sharing this information. It’s worth noting that Tartan’s OJT program donated the space for the Supply Hub and several teachers and staff were integral in making this happen. DECA helped with the set up and is working with clothing vendors for those donations. Thank you to everyone who made this happen!
This is such a great idea and helpful action for the students in need at our school.
This is an amazing thing to have here at Tartan for students who may need these things. And because Of that, I believe they should open up the opportunity for students and maybe parents to donate, whether it’s money or supplies.
I had no idea this was a thing so thank you for writing about it. This is one of the best student ideas I have seen at tartan. I am so thankful to be a part of a community that cares so much about each other. I’m also so thankful that my community wants everyone to be as successful as they can in life, even if that means receiving little things such as necessary everyday supplies.
It’s great to see that Tartan is helping the local community, and doing a great job of it! Keep it up!
This is huge, i think this will genuinely be so helpful for the students here at tartan.
wow this is such an awesome way to help our students and the community!
