Starting the school year with confidence

The Back to School Drive helps students begin the year with useful supplies, encouragement, and a community behind them.

A new school year should begin with anticipation, not worry about having the supplies needed to participate. The Back to School Drive helps students and families prepare for the classroom with practical support and encouragement.

Removing barriers to learning

Backpacks, notebooks, writing tools, and other classroom essentials can make a meaningful difference for a student who is preparing to learn.

By helping provide these basics, the drive removes one more barrier for families and gives students a stronger foundation for showing up ready to participate.

Confidence for the year ahead

The impact of a school-supply drive extends beyond the first day. Students feel supported when they have the tools they need and know their community is invested in their growth.

Volunteers and donors help turn preparation into possibility, giving children encouragement they can carry through the school year.
