We love the fact that PublicHouse draws so many families, and family is an important part of who we are. We also love our home here in Springfield, and we want to do what we can to help keep our home thriving. In order to help nurture the town we love, we are putting together an Annual Springfield Back 2 School Supply Drive! This year we’re focusing on Kindergarten through 5th Grade.
Here’s how it works:
We’ll have our Supply Drive box in the BeerHall starting Friday, August 9. Bring any item(s) from the list below and receive 1 Ticket for the Back 2 School Carnival happening on August 25th (details HERE) and 1 Entry into the PublicHouse Supply Drive Raffle for a chance to win one of several packages including gift certificates for food, beverages and PublicHouse merch. The ticket for the Carnival is good for $1.00 towards any of the Carnival activities, including: BINGO, Dunk Tank, Face Painting, Photo Booth, Backpack Raffle & more (provided by Caught in the Act Entertainment). The PublicHouse Supply Drive Raffle will take place Monday, September 2. (Winners will be notified).

What will happen with the donations?
Our friends from the Springfield Public Schools Care and Connection team will be disbursing your donations to the Family Resource Centers at each school. The FRCs meet the basic needs of families in Springfield providing essential food, clothing, hygiene items and supplies. The Springfield Education Foundation supported the FRCs this year with a $20,000 grant, giving each school a $1000 budget to purchase what they need to support their students. Your donations are sure to go to the schools that need it most!
