2025/2026 School Supply Drive Results

T&E Care held its annual School Supply Drive this May.  We are very excited that we were able to raise the funds to cover the supplies and backpacks for almost 250 students needing this support.  They will be receiving their items during July, and we know they’ll be very excited to start the year off strong!

Over 120 individual donors helped us purchase supplies. Buying in bulk really saves a lot of money and guarantees consistency and quality in the items we give the kids.  But buying in bulk does mean more sorting is needed to fill the bags – and we’re always appreciative of those who offer their time for this task.

Thanks again to FLITE for providing the funds for the backpacks and a few of the supplies. Thanks to Beaumont for sharing the space for the sorting. Thank you to Trinity Presbyterian in Berwyn for additional supplies and the Conestoga Sailing Team who made bags for 2nd grade and the Conestoga T&E Care Kids Club for organizing the Sharpies collection.  And thanks to the awesome committee that pulled this event together:  Jen Bracco, Laura Giordano, Mariana Bracco, Kim Jamme, Kate Peyton, Mary Frances Szpila, Sara Vose, Tina Whitlow, and Jean Allen.

Special thanks to Conestoga students Marianna Bracco who led the assembly week, David Ivory who leads the T&E Care Kids Club, and Ava McAveney for coordinating the sailing team efforts. Thank you to additional volunteers for helping during assembly week: Katy Bishopric, Susan Chronister, Marie-Pierre Crowe, Monica Dimitri, Megan Fox, Amanda Ivory, Karla Konz, Phamily Orthodontics, Shirley Osborne, Ceil Rose, Whitney Ross, Nikole Salata, Annemarie Signore, Tracy Simpson, and Kate Vasudevan.
