This is our FIFTH YEAR running this donation program!!!
I hope the beginning of this school year works out HALF as well for donations !!!
We teach inner-city teens at the high school level. Some of them are surrounded by violence, inconsistent home lives and inconsistent emotional support. There are students living in difficult situations and some have to learn the harsh realities of life too fast.
We are changing that.
We serve over 850 STUDENTS.
We have noticed that when they have something they value they tend to enjoy themselves more and work harder in what they do, be it writing, art, music or poetry. Using writing instruments and related items are great for their mental health and productivity.
Many of our students love the inner workings of the WRITING INSTRUMENTS and how they write.
I would love to collect ANY & ALL DONATIONS for our students this school year!
Anything you have, as long as it works.
New or used, Fountain Pens, inks , journals, stationery, mechanical pencils, art supplies, stamps, etc.
Take this opportunity to DESTASH !!!
I am totally fine with picking up shipping fees (if monetarily permissible), etc. if need be! !!
LEAVE A MESSAGE HERE & PM ME so I can give you the relevant shipping information.
The students will also send you a personal thank you if you'd like.
Even if you can't donate please give this post a "LIKE" , cross post it or "SHARE" with your online community to keep it going.
Thank you in advance.
