Pack Supplies and Power Futures!

School supplies can be a big burden—especially for middle and high school students and their teachers. Tools for Schools turns giving back into a hands-on, high-energy team experience that helps local classrooms thrive.

This isn’t your average donation drive. Your team will jump into a series of fun, fast-paced challenges that boost teamwork, communication, and problem-solving. The better you work together, the more supplies you unlock!

Then it’s time to bring it all home—literally. Your team will choose how to give back: pack backpacks full of essentials for students or fill up bins with classroom supplies for teachers. Either way, you’ll see the impact of your efforts right in front of you.

Even better? All materials are purchased from a nonprofit that supports education, so your impact goes even further!

It’s a win for your team, a win for students, and a win for the community. Ready to make an impact?
