These aren’t just materials; they’re confidence, dignity, and opportunity for every student in the room.
Your gift helps:
Refill classrooms with the supplies students need to create, explore, and grow
Ease the financial and emotional burden on teachers
Ensure every student can finish the school year prepared and proud
As educator Cassie McLain shared,
“I think sometimes there’s this idea that you get school supplies at the beginning of the year and it lasts the whole year. Even if kids bring school supplies at the beginning of the year, you go through pencils, you go through erasers, you go through markers, you go through notebooks—they’re using them!”
