Tools 4 Schools KickOff November 18, 2010

Join us for the official launch of Bay Area Benefit's Holiday drive, "Tools 4 Schools."

California has faced over $17 billion in cuts to education. Every single school district across the Bay Area and state has felt the pain.

The result is minimal funds left for the most basic materials that schools need to operate--paper, pencils, markers, index cards, books and board games.
...
Help us as we partner with numerous schools throughout the Bay to collect the tools they've requested for their classrooms.

Bring a donated item or give a minimum of $5
1. Paper (white copy paper, colored paper, binder paper, notebooks)
2. Box of Pencils (#2, colored pencils)
3. Box of Crayons and Markers
4. First Aid Kits (hand sanitizer, band-aids, ice packs)
5. Board Games and Flash Cards
6. Books (new or gently used)
7. Office Depot / Staples gift cards
