Supporting Students K–12 Starts with You!

Equipping students with the right tools isn’t just about pens and paper—it’s about building confidence, motivation, and a love for learning.

In Woonsocket, over 3,000 children live below the poverty line. Many families are already struggling to make ends meet and simply can’t afford the extra cost of new school supplies or materials that aren’t provided by schools. Students aren’t always equipped with the supplies or resources to thrive in the classroom and face challenges like low self-esteem, bullying, and a lack of confidence, motivation, and curiosity to learn—making it harder to reach their academic goals.

With donations from YOU, students will have what they need to achieve their goals, succeed in school, and stay excited about learning.

Your support helps provide students with the tools they need to enjoy a fresh start to the school year—without worry, without feeling left behind, and without being forgotten.
