A community effort so every student starts the year ready.
Backpacks, notebooks, and everyday classroom essentials for kids at schools on both sides of the river. Here's how you can help.
My family has spent generations working in education right here in the Quad Cities, and I've seen firsthand how strong our local schools are. Students across our community have real opportunities in front of them, but that only holds true when they walk in the door with what they need on day one.
This drive is my way of making sure that's true for as many kids as possible this year, and I can't do it alone. I'm asking this community to collaborate with me the same way it always has: by showing up for its kids.
However you can contribute, it makes a difference for a kid heading back to class.
