Mission

Supply Our Students, Inc. is a non-profit organization that believes educational equity is one path towards a more just society. There is an undeniable gap between resourced and under-resourced students in our country that manifests itself in multiple ways, and exists for a multitude of reasons. The consequence of this gap is an undisputed learning divide; well-resourced students have access to the school supplies and technology they require to succeed in school which eases learning, while under-resourced students, who are without access to tools such as technology, are forced to navigate a far tougher learning environment.

Enter Supply Our Students, Inc. Our mission is to bridge the gap between what under-resourced students need as it relates to school supplies and technology, and what they currently have at their disposal.

What We Do

Resources Offered:

- Technology, including tablets, laptops, and prepaid wi-fi hotspots.

- School supplies, including backpacks, pencil & pens, notebooks, erasers, paper, folders, highlighters, calculators, and hand sanitizer.

How We Identify Students In Need:

- We partner with other civic-minded organizations, educational institutions, and educators to help identify students that may benefit from our resources. We also seek to inform communities of our work through marketing efforts.

How Students Qualify For Our Program:
