You can give kids everything they need to thrive in the classroom – and beyond.

Because kids need more than backpacks, we now provide head-to-toe support for students – including new shoes, clothing, nutritious snacks, hygiene kits, vision and hearing checks, and more.

HOW YOUR DOLLARS HELP

In Bucks County, 4 out of every 25 kids are from economically insecure families. Tools for School ensures that every kid in Bucks County – regardless of income – returns to the classroom with the tools they need to excel.

*If we meet the needs of all students on our list, remaining funds may be used to help those in Bucks County with similar needs throughout the year.
