Together, we can ensure every student has the supplies they need to succeed.
Our Goal
EHCTX Back to School Supply Drive is an event dedicated to providing backpacks and school supplies to children and families in need in East Harris County. This is made possible through collaboration with our network of generous partners. Access to basic school supplies remains a significant barrier for many students in underserved communities like East Harris County. By providing fully equipped backpacks, we can empower students and give them an opportunity to thrive in the upcoming school year.

Let’s make this school year unforgettable for every student. Did you know 3 in 4 students in East Harris County are considered economically disadvantaged?
For these students, school supplies are a luxury. Many arrive at school without a single pencil or notebook, unable to participate in day-to-day lessons and activities. With your help, our students will have the supplies they need to succeed!
