KutakCares Kids in Need Foundation Fundraiser

Kids In Need Foundation's (KINF) believes that every child in America deserves equal opportunity and access to a quality education. Teachers remain the key to unlocking a student's potential in the classroom as a stepping stone to the rest of their life.

More than 30 million students are enrolled in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), receiving meals through school at a discount or for free. For these students, school supplies are a luxury. Many arrive at school without a single pencil or notebook, unable to participate in day-to-day lessons and activities.

When asked about the impact that access to free school supplies has students, educators reported the following:

95%: Access to free supplies is critical to creating a more equal learning environment for students.

91%: Increase in preparedness

83%: Significant increase in participation

78%: Significant increase in student self-esteem
