2025 - 2026 School Supplies Drive
Building on the success of our 2024–2025 drive, we continued the school-supply program for the 2025–2026 school year. Families across several St. Louis-area school districts donated supplies, and our volunteers worked with Archway Refugee Connections to organize and distribute them to students and families who needed them most. We also gave partially used notebooks a second life by collecting their unused pages. Together, we helped students begin the school year with essential tools for learning.

Our community came together to help students start the year prepared
The 2024–2025 drive was our first school-supply campaign, made possible by neighbors across the St. Louis area. Families from multiple school districts donated essential items, and our team partnered with Welcome Neighbor STL to sort and distribute them to students who needed extra support. From pencils and books to backpacks and binders, each contribution helped students head into the new school year better prepared to learn. The generous response from our community showed what we can accomplish when people come together—and inspired us to continue the drive in the years that followed.
