The Philadelphia public school system faces significant challenges due to chronic underfunding. Teachers are often left to bridge the gap by spending their own money on classroom supplies. On average, 3.5 million educators nationwide are shelling out at least $500 annually out of their pockets to ensure their students have the tools they need to learn and succeed.
Our goal is simple: to give 1,500 school bags full of supplies to students who need them. This will help teachers and families by making sure every child has what they need for school.
Every donation, no matter how big or small, makes a difference.
What Your Donation Supports:
- School bags filled with essential supplies such as notebooks, pens, pencils, rulers, and more.
- Support a classroom: Providing supplies to teachers who often dip into their own pockets to provide for their classrooms.
- Empowerment of students by ensuring they have the tools needed to excel in their education.
