Purcellville PD collecting school supplies

By the end of August, children will head back to the classroom, and unfortunately some will do so without the necessary supplies. The Purcellville Police Department is proud to support our local students by collecting these much-needed supplies, starting July 7, 2025, through August 1, 2025. The Purcellville Police Department has a box in the lobby of the police station, located at 125 Hirst Road, Suite 7A, Purcellville, to collect donated, new school supplies Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

If community members prefer to order donations online, we have created an Amazon Wish List. Items can be ordered off the wish list and selected to be delivered directly to the Purcellville Police Department. The wish list can be viewed here or scan the QR code below. All items collected will be donated to our local community organizations for distribution to children in our area in need.
