Remember how exciting it was to get new clothes, new shoes, a new lunch box, new folders, paper, pencils – for the first day of school? For some kids, that’s a luxury their parents can’t afford.

The Hillsborough Education Foundation is teaming up with Metropolitan Ministries to collect school supplies for needy students from now through September. Help us fill backpacks for more than 5,300 students and fill the shelves of the Teaching Tools store. With your donation, kids can pay attention in class the rest of the year knowing that additional supplies are available.

Join forces with other businesses and community organizations to help kids succeed from the first to the last day of school! 

Charley Belcher and FOX 13's Care Force help us Stuff the Bus!

Give needy students the essentials they need to succeed in the classroom.
