Supply Drive

Help our 600+ students have the supplies to thrive this 2026–27 school year! You can help make the new school year a success for our students by:

Buying items from our supply list: Purchase items from our supply list at your local store and drop them off at our Francisco Campus before August 3, or order the supplies online and have them delivered by Monday, August 3!

Hosting a supply drive: Organize a supply drive at your business, religious organization, or school! Drives can be as simple as asking your friends, family, and/or co-workers to contribute, or placing a supply collection box at your business or a local organization.

Letting us shop for you: No time to shop? Scroll down this page to make a monetary donation and we'll get our students exactly what they need.

Shopping through our Amazon Wish List: Fulfill our youth's back-to-school wishes through our Amazon Wish List! Supplies will be delivered straight to Lawrence Hall; make sure to include your name in the gift message slip so we can attribute your donation.

VOLUNTEERING WITH US on Thursday, August 6: Help our youth tackle the 2026–27 school year by volunteering to fill backpacks with brand-new, readily prepared school supplies at Lawrence Hall's Francisco Campus!

Please scroll to the bottom of this webpage to sign up for our volunteer shifts.
