Back to School Boxes is a mutual aid project committed to providing school supplies to Chicago students in need. We have several lockers which will be filled with supplies and distributed the weekend of 9/12, but we need your help getting more!
We’re asking for $1,600 to cover the cost of 10 lockers and an application for tax exempt status.
Lockers cost approximately $60 and need about $40 worth of supplies. This includes lumber, sealant, and roofing for weatherproofing. These will be filled with supplies that have been donated and gathered through drives.
The IRS charges $600 to file for tax-exempt status, which will allow us to apply for grants to continue our mission!
We appreciate anything you‘re willing and able to give, and hope you can benefit as well!
P.S. - If you are able to donate any materials, please reach out to [email redacted] or @backtoschoolboxes on Instagram - thanks!!!
