Back to School Supply Drive 2026
Together, we reached our 2026 Back-to-School Drive goal!
Because of supporters like you, ALL of our Achievers and their siblings will begin the school with the supplies they need to learn and thrive! Thank you for helping make the start of the school year brighter for every child we serve.
From First Day to Snow Day!
Back-to-school readiness doesn't end in September.
As the weather turns colder, a warm winter coat becomes just as essential as a backpack and school supplies. Every Achiever deserves to arrive at school warm, comfortable, and ready to learn throughout the New England winter.
We're excited to begin our 2026 Winter Coat Drive and invite individuals, businesses, faith communities, families, and community groups to join us in helping every Achiever stay warm this winter.
Be among the firs to sign up and we'll send you everything you need to participate, including coat sizes, registry details, and drop-off instructions on available.
