Back-to-school supply drive

This annual drive helps ensure that every child has the tools they need to succeed in school.

Empowering Students for Success

Every child deserves the tools they need to succeed in school, but for many families, affording school supplies can be a challenge. The Back-to-School Supply Drive is an annual initiative by Embrace Center aimed at equipping students with essential supplies to start the school year confidently and ready to learn.

How It Works:
  • Donation Drop-Off: Community members can donate new school supplies such as backpacks, notebooks, pencils, and calculators at designated locations.
  • Sponsor a Student: Support a child directly by sponsoring a complete school supply kit.
  • Volunteer Support: Help sort, pack, and distribute supplies to local schools and community centers.
Why It Matters:
  • Break Barriers: Access to basic supplies helps students focus on learning instead of worrying about what they lack.
  • Foster Confidence: A well-prepared student is more likely to succeed and feel confident in the classroom.
  • Strengthen Community: By working together, we can ensure no child is left behind.
