School supplies are provided to students living in income-eligible households in West Des Moines each year. Click here for income guidelines. 

This program helps registered children grades pre-k through 12 start the school year with the supplies they need. Students select supplies based on their specific school supply list - we cannot guarantee we will have all supplies needed. The 2024 School supply distribution for qualifying families takes place on Tuesday, August 13th.   

School physicals are also available to uninsured or under-insured youth at the Valley Junction Free Medical Clinic, located in the West Des Moines Human Services building.
