Their partnership with community members is critical to the success of this year’s school supply drive. All proceeds raised went straight to purchasing bulk school supplies that were delivered to all Round Rock ISD campuses at the start of the 2020-2021 school year. This year, with the community support, the Foundation was able to distribute supplies on four separate occasions to ensure that all students have the supplies they need to start the year off right. With additional donations from the community including supply kits from H-E-B, the Foundation was also able to create for the first time an “Art Store” for teachers to shop for much needed supplies.
“As with most organizations, the pandemic has changed the way we provide support for students in need. We are so humbled by the generosity and kindness of our partners and individuals whose support allowed supplies to be distributed directly to students through their campus leadership,” said Executive Director, Marianne Reap. “We still need to raise additional funds but hope to make up some of that funding at our upcoming Golf Tournament on October 5.”
