AMERELLER
Bring your donation to our annual school supply drive at the Symosium and get an extra raffle ticket for fabulous prizes at the evening reception!! The drive will benefit the Teachers Aid Program at the Houston Food Bank.
Together we are helping under-served students by donating much-needed supplies to local area schools.
Many children can’t afford the most basic school supplies. Without the proper tools to do the work, children are challenged to achieve academic success. Many compassionate teachers pay for school supplies from their own pocket so their students have a more productive, efficient learning experience. The Teachers Aid Program, at the Houston Food Bank, provides the supplies kids need to succeed.
