There are 90,000 students in need in the St Louis area. That would fill Busch stadium twice. On August 11th we will distribute over $1 Million in supplies for 1000+ classrooms to support back to school efforts. We will have registered teachers coming through Clark street to get the supplies they need for their students to begin school strong. Going back to school should be an exciting time, but for those who can’t afford the required supplies, it’s a different story. Some students will arrive with empty backpacks: no pencils, no paper, no crayons. Imagine the boy or girl who arrives with no backpack or supplies at all. This distribution event is to ensure that we get the supplies into classrooms that need them.
