Stuff the Bus Supply Drives
Remember the anticipation of the first day of school?
New clothes, new shoes, a new lunch box, new folders, crayons, paper, pencils -- they were all part of the excitement. Believe it or not, approximately half of the 190,000+ students in Hillsborough County Public Schools cannot afford lunch daily, let alone the school supplies they need.
All year long, the Hillsborough Education Foundation’s Teaching Tools for Hillsborough Schools program collects school supplies for students in need. Annually, businesses and community organizations just like you help us gather those tools for schools!
You can help provide Hillsborough County students with the essentials they need to succeed in the classroom. Host a supply drive today!
The six (6) items students need the most are:
- Paper (lined or unlined)
- Composition Books
- Scissors
- Pencils
- Crayons
- Glue
