K-12 Fitted for Success Program

The Wood County Department of Job and Family Services is now accepting applications for the K-12 Fitted for Success program for the 2023-2024 school year.  650 children who live in Wood County will be provided with backpacks filled with grade appropriate school supplies, new shoes and socks and winter coats.

Assistance is provided on a first come/first serve basis.  Proof of household income, Birth Certificates or other proof of citizenship and Social Security cards for all family members must be provided.  Families must have an income at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level to qualify.  For a family of 4, this about $5,000 or less in gross income per month.  The income amount varies based on family size.  Families do not have to verify school enrollment for this year’s application.

Applications should be received by August 4, 2023 but will be accepted until 650 children are approved.  Assistance will be distributed to approved families in August.  Please complete the contact form below to request an application to be mailed.
