SCHOOLTOOLS
Essential School Supplies
Your group can provide a new backpack filled with school supplies for underserved children in the U.S. Each Kit helps build self-esteem and frees up family resources for other essentials such as food, medicine, and utilities. With these essential tools comes the opportunity to engage in learning, setting the foundation for a brighter future.
It’s a big help… we were struggling to buy school clothes, let alone school supplies.
Denetta Peters,
grandmother of 2nd grader
THE NEED IS GREAT
CHILDREN LIVE IN LOW INCOME HOMES
With 21% of all children living in homes with income below the federal poverty threshold*, these simple school supplies ease the burden many parents feel when they are not able to provide for their children. By assembling backpacks filled with basic school supplies, you are helping children from under-resourced families feel more confident and motivated to learn.
