As students prepare to head back to the classroom, many families in our community face challenges accessing the basic supplies needed for a successful school year. Through this annual initiative, SMACNA St. Louis members, partners, and friends can make a meaningful difference by helping provide school supplies, hygiene products, and other essential items to those who need them most.

All donations collected during the drive will benefit Youth In Need, a local nonprofit organization dedicated to helping children, teens, and families build brighter futures. The organization provides critical services for youth in foster care, families experiencing crisis, and individuals facing homelessness throughout the St. Louis region.

By contributing to this drive, you are helping ensure that children have the tools, resources, and support they need to learn, grow, and thrive.

Donating is easy!
