It is estimated that at least 1 in 5 children in the US live below the federally defined poverty line and are unable to come to school with the supplies they need, if any at all. 

An estimated 90% of public school teachers spend their own money on school supplies without reimbursement, and on average, teachers spend over $400 on items for their classrooms. 

That is why STC has initiated a supplemental School Supplies Drive! We want to help bridge the gap by providing basic supplies for both students and teachers in our surrounding area. 

And we need YOUR HELP! Without your help, this is just a thoughtful idea. With your help, WE can bless and impact students and teachers by providing the tools for a successful school year.
