Sheridan Youth Assistance Program - SYAP

05/22/2026

Happy last day of school to all of our Sheridan Community Schools families! We hope it's been a great year!

While everyone is cleaning out lockers and classrooms, SYAP has been busy preparing for summer activities, including our summer food program. We have already received some some items from our friends and partners at Hamilton County Harvest Foodbank and Shepherd's Pantry in Westfield, and we couldn't be more thankful for them! And today we scored some very cute clearance lunch boxes. Woo hoo!

If you'd like to help, too, we have a couple of opportunities for you:

1. Visit the pack the cruiser event at the Westfield Kroger on Carey Rd. and SR 32 on Saturday, May 30 from 10-2, and donate requested food items or a Kroger gift card to Sheridan summer food programs.

2. Come volunteer with us! You can sign up to help as much or as little as you'd like this summer. Link with volunteer dates and options is in the comments.

Happy Monday !Don't forget to order school supply kits or request assistance! Mark it off that May to-do list!

We are looking forward to summer fun, but we also are planning for a great 2026-2027 school year! Wow!

You can order school supply kits for your Sheridan Community Schools students now until June 15 at brightschoolkits.shop. For those who purchase a kit, $1 will go back to SYAP, and your student will have all the school list supplies delivered to their classroom or locker before the first day of school. So easy!

Families can also request financial assistance for school supplies thanks to our generous partners, including support from Hamilton County Community Foundation this year! Please apply at the link in the comments, and students can receive the same school supply kits from Bright School kits. The deadline to request assistance is JUNE 10.

We wanted to do a shout out to our friend Amy for being our lead volunteer for our Gleaners 2 Go pick ups this spring! She brought along some student friends from the FLIGHT after school program to help out at our April distribution. Thank you so much for helping! If you are interested in volunteer opportunities with SYAP this summer, send an email to [email protected], and we'll send you a link to see all that's available in June, July, and August with SYAP!

Does your teen enjoy the outdoors and animals? Would an opportunity to get out and learn a new hands-on skill be beneficial to them? Our friends at Ben's Ranch Foundation have some amazing FREE Boot Camps coming up in May! Check it out!

Thank you for giving to Donor Madness! We increased our monthly donor support by adding 9 new recurring donors who are giving at least $30/month to SYAP! You all are amazing!

And if you add up all of our monthly gifts, along with generous one time gifts given during this campaign, we surpassed our dollar goal of $10,800 (30 donors at $30/month, for all you math lovers out there). Donor Madness will bring in a total of $16,364 that will go toward opportunities for Sheridan youth like recreational sports, school sports, and summer activities.

🎉🏀❤️🎉🏀❤️🎉🏀❤️🎉🏀❤️🎉🏀❤️🎉

We couldn't be more grateful. And this is way more fun to celebrate since my NCAA bracket didn't do so well...😊

Did you know that every year Sheridan Youth Assistance supports families during the wintery holiday season? We believe that EVERYONE deserves a low-stress, jolly holiday. By teaming up with local business, non-profits, and family sponsors, we are able to spread holiday cheer to the community. We coordinate the distribution of gifts, clothes, food, wrapping paper, and more that will make the holiday season run smoothly. In 2025, the community holiday program provided assistance to 324 individuals.

As we reach towards the end of Donor Madness, please consider leaving a one-time or recurring donation that will positively impact a family’s life:
