Why School Supplies Matter

Every child needs the right supplies to be successful in school.  However, it's not just about pencils and paper. Having the right supplies sets these students up for success. Walking in on the first day knowing you are ready for whatever the teacher challenges you with builds confidence. Walking into the classroom empty-handed can hurt a student’s self-esteem and hinder their learning. That's why every student deserves to have the right school supplies.

We live in a community that opens its hearts and wallets to ensure students who can't afford supplies have what they need.
