Difficulties in our Central Florida economy have forced local families to continue to make difficult decisions each day regarding basic needs such as food, utilities, and now more than ever, backpacks and school supplies for their children for the new school year.

This virtual school supply drive will provide children in Osceola, Seminole and Orange County public schools with a new backpack and complete set of supplies.

Together, we can ensure that no child in our community is left behind due to the inability to access basic school supplies. Thank you for your help and generosity!
