Crayons to Computers exists to level the playing field in the classroom by ensuring that teachers can provide their students in need the tools to succeed in school.
Imagine … you are eight years old. You report to homeroom on your first day of school only to see kids opening their new backpacks full of notebooks, pencils, markers, scissors and crayons—laughing and comparing supplies. You showed up with nothing because your family couldn’t afford school supplies.
How would you feel?
Push 4 Pencils is the annual school supply drive for Crayons to Computers. It’s a sobering reality that Cincinnati is one of the poorest cities in the country. The overall poverty rate in Cincinnati is nearly 25% compared to 12.6% nationally.
Families struggling to put food on their table cannot prioritize purchasing school supplies.
We need your help to prepare more than 120,000 students for back to school.
