Collection for school supplies is organized by Harford County Education Foundation and will provide financially challenged Harford County students with critical learning materials.
Back to school may look a little different this year for students due to health and safety issues surrounding COVID-19. Whether students are home learning or at a learning center, many of our high needs students are at risk of starting the school year without the critical tools for learning. During this unprecedented time, your support for our children is needed more than ever. There are many ways you can help!
Donate school supplies through Harford County Education Foundation’s charity registries at Target and Amazon. Or make a monetary donation and the Education Foundation will maximize the number of students provided with critical school supplies through bulk purchasing. The charity registries and online donation can be accessed at https://bit.ly/harfordtoolsforschools.
Donations of school supplies can also be dropped off at the Harford County Education Foundation’s Tools for Schools resource center at 260 Gateway Dr., Suite 21A in Bel Air and the Aberdeen IronBirds, Leidos Field at Ripken Stadium.
To provide ample space for social distancing and sanitization, the Aberdeen IronBirds, Leidos Field at Ripken Stadium has generously provided space for the packaging and distribution of school supplies.
