Back To School Supplies Needed

Join us in collecting essential school supplies for students in our community to help ensure every child starts the school year with the necessary tools to succeed. Many students face barriers to academic success due to a lack of basic school supplies. Without items like notebooks, pencils, backpacks, etc., students may struggle to keep up with their peers. By donating you are helping to create an equitable learning environment where every student has the opportunity to thrive. Join us in supporting our students and investing in their future. All items will be avialable in The Big Free Bookstore, free of charge. School supplies also support enrolled teachers in our School House Rockin' Teacher Resource program that empower educators with additional classroom supplies for their students. Together, we can make a lasting impact on our community.
