Our Ready, Set, Thrive School Support Drive is collecting essential items to help fill school supply closets with much-needed food, hygiene products and extra clothing to support families through the summer months. We’re also gathering back-to-school supplies to ensure students start the new school year confident and prepared.

Your donations make a direct, meaningful impact - helping students thrive in and out of the classroom. Together, we can help kids show up ready to learn and succeed.

Thank you for your generous support! 

2,000 students in the Tri-County community will start the school year feeling confident, supported and equipped with the tools they need to succeed.

Together, we achieved:
• Over 250 individuals & organiztions contributed
• $35,000 worth of school supplies
• $2,700 worth of food, hygiene products & clothing

Schools supported by the School Support Drive

  • Chicora Elementary School
  • River Oaks Middle School
  • Cross High School
  • McKinney-Vento students in Berkeley County
