Play With Purpose: Celebrating Student Success Stores & Giving Back at Recreations Outlet
At Recreations Outlet, we believe in the power of play—but we also believe in the power of people.
We are proud to support the mission of Student Success Stores, a Columbus-based nonprofit dedicated to helping students succeed in school by providing free, anonymous access to essential items like hygiene products, easy-to-eat food, school-code clothing, and school supplies. By supplying students with these necessities, Student Success Stores ensures that every child starts the school day healthy, confident, and ready to learn. In the 2023–24 school year alone, they provided over 43,000 basic needs items to more than 2,000 unique students across multiple schools.
Charitable Play: A Simple Way to Give Back
Want to support this mission? You can—just by showing up to play.
Our Charitable Play program runs Tuesday through Thursday from 9–11am. For just $4 per child, your family can enjoy full access to our indoor showroom while 50% of your donation goes directly to local children’s charities.
It’s a small cost that creates big change. Over time, this simple morning playtime has helped support incredible causes like:
Every jump, slide, and swing helps us lift up kids and families facing real challenges.
Join the Movement
When your child plays during Charitable Play, they’re doing more than having fun—they’re making a difference. And when we celebrate student success, we’re reminding our kids that hard work, kindness, and perseverance matter.
