If there’s anything we’ve been reminded of during the past few months, it’s that the playing field is far from
level for all students. Yet, equal opportunities in education can change the trajectory of lives.
That’s why we’re partnering with Classroom Central to make sure all local students are prepared and excited
to learn! 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 everyone’s help!
We will be hosting a school supply drive to benefit Classroom Central. Our goal is to collect $500 in supplies. Our supply drive will run until the end of August.

Classroom Central equips students in need to effectively learn by collecting and distributing free school supplies to their teachers. We serve teachers and students in nearly 200 schools across six school districts in the Charlotte Region.

While most of our region’s students will be learning remotely, a computer with wifi isn’t the only supply they’ll need. Remote students will still take notes with pens, pencils and paper. They’ll need pocket folders, binders, and backpacks to stay organized. And they’ll take art class with crayons, markers, and glue. Remote learning has actually increased our community’s need for supplies because classrooms can no longer share materials, and now even more families are experiencing financial hardships. See how Classroom Central is taking action this year by reading their FAQs.

Donate to our virtual supply drive to help Classroom Central prepare 127,000 local students for back to school.
