Kudos to you for organizing this! The school supplies will help out tremendously! I work at a school in another county with high poverty as well. Every year I try to find organizations to help me put shoes and socks on students who cannot afford them and support for eye glasses for students who need them and can not afford them. These are two areas that will be high need in any high poverty area that many do not think of. Every-year I find someone who will help out the children! I call them angels! Just a few more ideas that will help throughout the year.
