Did you know that 54% of children in our community live below the poverty line and can't afford the basic school supplies they need to learn? That means 1 in every 2 local students come to school empty-handed.
That's why we're partnering with Classroom Central to make sure all local students are equipped to succeed in school. Classroom Central serves more than 127,000 students and their teachers across 6 school districts in nearly 200 high-need schools. Their mission is to equip students to effectively learn by collecting and distributing free school supplies to their teachers.
Equipping all local students with all of the basic tools they need to succeed will require over 1,000,000 supplies. So we need your help!
Our school supply drive will benefit Classroom Central and will run until August 31st.
You can drop off your donations during our event on July 23rd from 2 - 4 p.m. at our NEW office. While you are there enjoy free ice cream on us from Sticks & Cones Ice Cream truck. If you are not able to make it please consider donating to our virtual drive or stop by our office anytime until August 31st and drop your donations off to our collection barrel.

Your support is more crucial this year to help students catch up from pandemic learning loss. NC state test results show proficiency rates in english, math, and science plummeted in nearly every grade level throughout the pandemic, as fewer than half of K-12 students (only 45.4%) passed NC state exams. But for economically disadvantaged students, the pass rates dropped even further, to only 28.8% of NC students in need. Click here to learn more about Classroom Central.
