Back-To-School Supply Drive

Many families are struggling with high unemployment, and more than many students in New Rochelle are enrolled in the free and reduced meal programs. Their parents are unable to provide the basic school supplies their children need to succeed. In addition, schools across the country are facing severe budget cuts and lack the funding to purchase necessary supplies. You can help children in school by giving them the tools and supplies they need to be successful. Collecting school supplies can take as little as a few extra minutes during your weekly visit to the supermarket. Feel great about ensuring that children start the school year with the tools they need to succeed and donate school supplies. By providing school supplies, you are supporting students, teachers and your local schools.
