Tampa Bay School Supply Drive

Friday, July 22nd - Saturday, August 20th
The Tampa Bay School Supply Drive ensures that students with the greatest need have the tools to succeed during the new school year. Recognizing that thousands of families in our area struggle to afford these critical supplies, Hillsborough Education Foundation and Pinellas Education Foundation are partnering to support students on both sides of the Bay.
More than 200,000 economically disadvantaged students attend Hillsborough and Pinellas public schools. Given the financial hardships of recent years, this summer’s school supply drive is more important than ever.
