Causes: Education, Educational Services
Mission: To provide kids in need (grades K-12) with the same educational opportunities as their peers through custom-ordered school supplies. The children we assist are those at or below poverty level.
Results: Since being founded in 1998, we have provided over 432,000 children in need with custom-ordered school supplies. When children have the necessary supplies, the evidence of success is demonstrated level-by-level, as they are given the same opportunities as their peers without financial burden. As a result of proper school supplies, these children show higher levels of confidence and continuation of education, helping to mitigate the cycle of poverty.
