Junior Achievement of Greater Kansas City is proud to support ScrapsKC's Back-to-School Supply Drive because student success starts with access to the tools needed to learn. Just as ScrapsKC works to remove barriers by providing free school supplies, Junior Achievement empowers young people with the knowledge and skills to succeed in work, career, and life. Together, we're helping students build a strong foundation for achievement—both in the classroom today and in their futures tomorrow.
Here's how you can help:
Donate: You can purchase specific school supplies, leverageing ScrapsKC's tax exempt status, or donate financially toward the Teacher Resource Center's greatest need. Contribute whatever you can. No amount is too small!
Spread the Word: Share our fundraising page with your friends, family, and social networks. Let’s spread awareness so we can raise more!
Thank you so much for your support! We couldn’t do this without you!
We're raising money for the ScrapsKC Teacher Resource Center!
Without basic supplies like pencils and books, children living in poverty face greater barriers to learning than their classmates. Hosting a drive or contributing to one can ensure ScrapsKC is equipped to continue providing FREE supplies, helping break the generational poverty cycle. Your donations foster equity in education by providing the necessary tools for success!
In 2025, your generosity benefitted over 700 teachers who served no less than 25,000 students. Our trends in 2026 indicate that twice that many teachers are coming to ScrapsKC for help to serve over 49,000 students. Our standard week-to-week donation volumes fall far short of serving that need.
“The Teacher Resource Center has helped me to be so prepared. Many of my students come to school with no supplies. I can make sure that all my students have what they need to be successful without having to take from my own already-stretched budget.” Teacher
