School Supplies

BRIDGING THE EDUCATIONAL DIVIDE

Our journey began with a simple idea: to make a tangible difference in our local community and beyond. This led us to create The School Supplies Closet, a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating an even playing field for all students. As high schoolers, we understand that students need access to quality education and it should not be hindered by a lack of basic supplies. By providing school essentials such as pencils, notebooks, backpacks, and more, we strive to foster an environment where every student can thrive. Join us in our efforts to make a lasting impact on the lives of teachers, students, and communities as we work towards a more inclusive and empowered educational landscape.
