Another school year has come to a close and summer vacation is under way! As families add summer plans to their calendars, we are making plans for our annual school supply drive to make sure that children all over Maryland have the supplies they need come fall. 

Last year, COVID-19 changed the way we collected and distributed donations. We received feedback from many parents and students who greatly appreciated the flexibility that gift cards provided. They were able to purchase exactly what they needed, including new items on their lists like webcams! Many families also appreciate receiving backpacks that are filled with essential supplies, so this year we are taking a hybrid approach to best serve local families in need.
