Programs That Make a Difference

Backpacks for Middle School Students

Each fall, the school year starts stronger for thousands of young learners thanks to our Backpacks for Middle School Students program. More than 5,000 backpacks filled with essential supplies are distributed annually to help students feel prepared, confident, and ready to learn from day one.

Scholarships and Professional Development Awards

We’re proud to support those dedicated to learning and teaching. In 2025, the Foundation awarded $142,000 to 39 students and 20 educators, helping them pursue academic goals, expand their skills, and continue making a positive impact in the classroom and beyond.

Warming Hearts and Hands

The Warming Hearts and Hands program ensures students stay warm, comfortable, and focused on learning in the winter season. With the support of donors, thousands of new hats, gloves, mittens, scarves, and socks are distributed to students experiencing need throughout the colder months.
