Pencils and Paper

July 5- August 5

Thank you to the individuals and workplace donors who have participated in the 2022 Annual School Supply Drive!

This year, donations directly benefited Pencils and Paper, a program of Jewish Family Services. Pencils & Paper operates a no-cost classroom supply store, providing school supplies to local teachers to support students most impacted by poverty. Given the challenges teachers have faced in recent years while educating and caring for our children and the rising costs of school supplies due to inflation, access to the Pencils and Paper program alleviates teachers' concerns about meeting classroom needs.

Donations are needed year-round!

Interested in hosting an in-kind School Supply Drive?

Hundreds of nonprofits are still looking for donated school supplies to support back to school!
