Please donate to the Huron Consulting Group team supply drive!
The Black Alliance iMatter Team's Community Stewardship Subcommittee, in partnership with Classroom Central, is hosting a school supply drive from July 10, 2023 - August 31, 2023. School supplies will be ordered via Amazon. Monetary donations are also accepted. Both donation types will be tracked, and a final collection total will be shared with the group. We will work with Classroom Central to schedule a group photo once the drive is over.
Classroom Central fosters equity in education by providing teachers and students with the free resources they need to succeed. We serve teachers and students in over 200 schools across six school districts in the Charlotte Region.
Your support is more crucial this year than ever before. Every November, we receive updated statistics on free/reduced lunch for the schools we cater to. Typically, there are a few schools that become eligible due to changes in student populations. However, this year is different. We have welcomed 34 newly eligible schools, and what's even more significant is the addition of 38,000 students who are relying on our support. This marks the largest increase in our 20-year history, with several schools that have never qualified or required our assistance before. To ensure we can adequately meet the needs of these additional students without compromising our impact on those already being served, we must obtain more essential supplies like paper and pencils, which are crucial for both students and teachers.
Donate to our virtual supply drive to help Classroom Central prepare 156,000 local students for back-to-school.
