130,000+ Reasons to Donate School Supplies Today
More than 130,000 students in Broward County Public Schools qualify for free or reduced-fee lunch, and the District’s Title I schools educate a large number of these students. This ever-increasing number of economically-challenged students is why Broward Education Foundation founded the School Supply Center in Pompano Beach. Teachers in Broward County Public Schools that are designated as Title I schools depend upon free school supplies to help struggling students make the most of their education.
The School Supply Center is stocked through generous donations from local businesses and individuals, supplies purchased with donated funds and partnerships with national organizations such as Kids in Need Foundation, Target, Staples and Walgreens.
Broward Education Foundation School Supply Center welcomes donations of school supplies, furniture and more. Financial donations are also encouraged.
