Help Us Prepare Students for a Successful School Year!

Back to school season is here again!

Are you looking for ways to get involved and help students and their families feel confident to start the school year off strong? We’re asking for in-kind donations of new backpacks, notebooks, folders, crayons, pencils, and other essentials. Distribution begins in August, so we’re working quickly to gather supplies now to ensure every child receives what they need in time.

Please see the list of age-appropriate school supplies or use our Amazon Wishlist to have donations shipped directly to us!

If you prefer to drop items off in person, donations can be brought to the IW Essential Needs Center at 751 Twinbrook Parkway, Rockville, MD 20581, from Tuesday to Friday, 8:30 am to 4:00 pm, and on Saturday from 8:30 am to 1:00 pm.
