Join Triangle CIO for our school supply fundraiser. Without basic supplies like pencils and books, children living in poverty face greater barriers to learning than their classmates. Our drive will 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. Through our partnerships, each $1 donated becomes $9 worth of distributed supplies for students in our community. Your support and collections during the drive campaign give students the supplies they need for a successful school year.
