Support Over 220,000 Hillsborough County Students by Donating School Supplies
As the new school year approaches, over 220,000 students in Hillsborough County are gearing up for a fresh start. However, many of these students lack the necessary school supplies to start the school year off. This is where you can make a huge difference.
By donating to education, you can help to ensure each student has the tools they need to succeed. At Hillsborough Education Foundation, we are committed to students getting the resources they need to set them up for success in school and beyond.
Over 150,000 Reasons to Donate
Hillsborough County is home to over 220,000 students, each with their own unique potential and dreams.
Unfortunately, not all of these students have access to the basic supplies required for a successful educational experience. Many families struggle to afford the essentials, making community support crucial. By donating school supplies for students, or teaching supplies for teachers, you are providing more than just items. You are giving students a chance to fully engage in their education and reach their goals.
See the Impact of Your Generosity
At Hillsborough Education Foundation, we understand it can be hard to donate without understanding the impact your donations have on kids and classrooms alike. Here is how various contributions can make a difference:
- $10 can supply 200 pencils
- $50 can provide a backpack filled with essential school supplies
- $100 can support a teacher with crucial classroom tools and resources

No matter your contributions, donating to education helps to keep kids engaged, and supplying teaching supplies for teachers lessens the stress for everyone, allowing more focus to be on learning.
