2024 School Supply Drive – The Basic Details

T&E Care is holding its annual School Supply Drive this year between April 16 and May 8Sorting will take place from June 17-20 at Beaumont ES.This event helps to provide the needed supplies to local families who struggle to buy them. This way we hope to level the playing field for all our neighborhood kids!  Thanks for helping us to make this happen!

This year we’re changing the format to make it easier for everyone.  Instead of each donor worrying about making purchases of specific items – our volunteers are going to do the shopping!  So donors will be asked to just sponsor children at the appropriate level:

Elementary: $50  
Middle School: $75
High School: $100

Once we’ve confirmed the number of children at the various levels, we’ll put out a Sign Up Genius link so you can sign up.  That link will be live starting on April 16.  

A few notes:

  • To make a donation – see the box on the website with the PayPal, Venmo or check donation information.
  • Volunteers will be needed to help with sorting – we’ll be posting the Sign Up Genius for this soon as well.
  • Please – no children younger than high school age for the volunteer list.  Thanks for understanding. 
  • FLITE will again be providing the back packs and a few other things.  THANKS FLITE!
  • Send any questions to schoolsupplies@tecare.org 

THANKS for all your support!  The kids appreciate it!
