Pack a Class is our new annual supply drive that is aimed at supporting all Bauer programs throughout Tippecanoe, Clinton, Carroll, White, Warren, Fountain, Hendricks, Owen, and Morgan Counties. The idea is to pack a classroom in each of the communities we serve full of our most frequently consumed supplies to be utilized throughout 2024. As a primarily grant funded agency, our compliance requirements include a significant level of in kind giving. Pack a Class not only directly supports the day to day work of programming but it allows us to tangibly demonstrate the support we receive from the local community.

How to Participate

Utilize our Amazon Wish List by clicking here. Items purchased through Amazon will be shipped directly to Bauer Community Center in Lafayette; however, items can be designated to a specific location or program. Amazon is not the most cost effective option for donors; however, it is quick and easy to purchase.

The most cost effective donation option would be to purchase items from our supply list and drop off items at a Bauer location. Bauer employees are available to pick up items.
