Families are resilient and find ways to make ends meet as our economy puts further pressure on them to do more with less. But no one should have to choose between sending their children to school with the supplies they need or providing their family with food and housing.
More than 100,000 students in the Greater Twin Cities return to school without essential school supplies like notebooks, pencils, pens and calculators. We need your help to change that.
Create your own volunteer experience at home with friends, family or neighbors! Purchase, assemble and donate school supply packs filled with markers, scissors, pencils and more.
Your generous donation will fuel the future of a local elementary, middle or high school student. A gift of just $12 provides a brand-new backpack full of school supplies.
