Supplying Kids With Tools They Need to Succeed!

When students and teachers have the supplies they need, learning and creativity in the classroom blossoms. School Tools provides thousands of underprivileged students with essential school supplies for academic success each year.

School Supplies For Success

In the past year, 57,090 local students received supplies needed to succeed academically. With your help, over $1.399 million worth of new school supplies were distributed to Inland Empire schools.

How It Works:

More than half of the children in our public schools are enrolled in the free and reduced meal program. If these families cannot afford lunch, it is unlikely they can afford school supplies.

Through the School Tools program, low-income students and classrooms receive NEW, FREE school supplies, giving them the supplies they need to learn and to succeed in school.

Teachers from eligible schools either visit the School Tools Teacher Resource Center located in Rancho Cucamonga to pick up needed supplies, or our mobile version of the program — School Tools on Wheels — brings the supplies directly to the schools.
