Want to get involved?
Below are a few ways you can support a child who wants to thrive:
- Host a school supply drive in your neighborhood, place of worship, workplace, or community organization in partnership with GEDCO.
Â
- Donate school supplies or make a financial contribution to help purchase essentials like backpacks, notebooks, folders, pencils, and other classroom necessities. In-kind donations can be dropped off at GEDCO's Community Hub.
Â
- Spread the word by sharing school supply drives, student resources, and family support programs through your social media, newsletters, and community bulletin boards.
Together, we can help ensure every student has the tools they need for a successful school year!
