Yet each year, due to inflation, rising cost of living, and inequitable economic opportunities for families, one in 10 K-12 students in the Greater Twin Cities return to school without essential school supplies like notebooks, pencils, pens and calculators.
Many families are faced with impossible choices when their budgets become tight. Rent or groceries? Medications or air conditioning? Clothes or school supplies? When families have limited resources, school supplies are often at the bottom of the list.
Create your own volunteer experience at home with friends, family or neighbors!
Purchase, assemble and donate school supply packs filled with markers, scissors, pencils and more.
Volunteering on August 1 at Target Center is full. But we encourage you to sign up for our waitlist and you will be notified if spots become available.
