Welcome to the Moms RISE School Supply Drive! We are a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting families and empowering single mothers. Our mission is to ensure that every child, particularly those from single mother households, has the necessary tools and resources to succeed in their education. Through our School Supply Drive, we aim to provide 100 kids with brand new backpacks filled with essential school supplies, giving them a strong start to the academic year.

The primary goal of the Moms RISE School Supply Drive is to alleviate the financial burden on single mother households by providing students with the supplies they need to thrive in the classroom. By equipping children with backpacks and fulfilling their school supply lists, we aim to foster an environment where students feel prepared, confident, and empowered to focus on their studies.

How it Works:

  1. Donation Collection: We invite individuals, businesses, and community organizations to contribute to our School Supply Drive by making donations of new backpacks and school supplies. Items can include notebooks, pencils, pens, erasers, rulers, calculators, markers, crayons, scissors, and any other essential supplies required by students of various age groups. For a list of specific items needed, please check this list.
  2. Volunteer Support: We greatly appreciate the assistance of volunteers who can help with organizing, sorting, and packing the donated supplies. Whether you can spare a few hours or commit to a longer-term involvement, your time and effort will make a significant difference in ensuring the success of our program. Please fill out this form with your contact information and availability to volunteer. 
  3. School Supply Distribution: To participate, parents will need to submit their student’s school supply list to be fulfilled. Each student will receive a brand new backpack filled with all the necessary supplies specific to their grade level. 100 students will be identified to participate based upon need. To submit your school supply request, please fill out this form no later than Wednesday, July 19th. All requests received after this date will not be considered.
