Virginia-Carolinas Travelers Community Connections

Join us in supporting local students by participating in our Back to School Supply Drive! Virginia-Carolina Community Connections, in partnership with Classroom Central, is collecting essential school supplies to help kids in our community start the year confident and prepared. Every donation—big or small—makes a real difference for a local child.

Thank you for joining Classroom Central and WSOC-TV for 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, fostering equity in education by providing the necessary tools for success.

130,000+ 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 9 School Tools campaign gives students the supplies they need for a successful school year.
