Please Join 9 School Tools in Supporting Classroom Central!

WSOC-TV's 9 School Tools campaign is a part of the Channel 9 Family Focus brand and was introduced in 1997. Covering over 22 counties, this is the largest school supply drive in the Carolinas and has served over 3 million children to date. In partnership with Communities in Schools Charlotte-Mecklenburg and Classroom Central, WSOC-TV collects school supplies, which are then distributed to students in grades K – 12

We hope you'll join our 9 Family Focus partners, in our combined effort to support local students and teachers.

If you can, please donate online today. 

Thank you for your support!​

Join Classroom Central and WSOC-TV for the Classroom Central 9 School Tools, the Carolinas’ largest school supply fundraiser. 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 Classroom Central is equipped to continue providing FREE supplies, helping break the generational poverty cycle. Your generosity benefits over 162,000 eligible students. Your donations foster equity in education by providing the necessary tools for success.

162,000+ local students need = 1,000,000 school supplies needed!

Through our partnerships, each $1 donated becomes $9 worth of distributed supplies for students in our community. Your support and collections during the Classroom Central 9 School Tools campaign give students the supplies they need for a successful school year.
