About usThe Write Stuff for Kids Inc. was organized in 2002 to help students in Clinton, Ill., with the basic supplies they need to start school.
Donations from our residents, churches, organizations and business community make our work possible. The Clinton Kiwanis Club has been with us every year to pack supplies and the Angel Tree Tree/Samaritan Room is our partner in providing gym shoes to children. NewsJune 2025 | Parents may sign up for school supplies on our website or at the Clinton office of Community Action. Please submit your information by July 1 to allow us time to purchase supplies.

May 2025 | Congratulations to Markie Fehrlen, of Clinton, the recipient of the Off and Running Scholarship sponsored by The Write Stuff for Kids Inc. The annual $1,500 scholarship helps DeWitt County students continue their education. Markie works with the Birth to Three program at Early Head Start. She will continue her education towards a bachelor’s degree in early childhood education. Congratulations to the 16 graduates of the Clinton Academy! This represents almost 50 percent of the 42 students who enrolled at some point during the school year. And kudos to their teachers Kate Deardorff and Denise King for their work. April 2025 | We are grateful for the continued support of Constellation Clean Energy Center. The generous donation of $5,000 is a real boost as we begin our fundraising efforts for 2025. We anticipate higher prices and higher numbers of students who need assistance this year. After more than 20 years, we know Clinton will come through to make our work possible! |
