From May to June, T&E Care’s annual School Supply Drive brought our community together once again. Thanks to your generosity, 261 students will head back to school this fall with brand-new backpacks and the supplies they need to start the new year with confidence.
THANK YOU.
Over 130 donors contributed to this year’s drive. By purchasing supplies in bulk, T&E Care is able to stretch every dollar and ensure consistent, high-quality items and maximize the impact of every donation.
It truly takes a village, and this year’s School Supply Drive was another example of the Tredyffrin and Easttown community coming together to support our neighbors in need.
A heartfelt thank you to the dedicated T&E Care School Supply Drive Committee for their leadership and organization: Jen Bracco, Deane Mariotti, Kim Jamme, Kate Peyton, and Mary Frances Szpila.
We are grateful for the continued support from FLITE who once again provided funds to help purchase backpacks, and Beaumont Elementary School for sharing its space again for assembly week.
And a very special thank you to the amazing volunteers who helped transport supplies, sort donations, pack bags, make deliveries, and provide snacks and sustenance for our volunteers during assembly week:
Jean Allen, Toni Armstrong, Jen Arnott, Jami Barnett, Bill Bellew, Lucy Bennett, Jamie Bennett, Katy Bishopric, Susan Cantando, Jacob Colello, Marie-Pierre Crowe, Karen Cruickshank, Wendy DiRico, Lilly Forrester, Ehtan Green, Rebecca Green, Betty Hannan, Amanda Ivory, Jill Kaiserman, Nani Lopes, Melelana Lopes, Margaret MacKenzie, Amanda Miller, Lorraine Miller, Laura Mills, Bonnie Motel, Katie Parker, Pamela Parker, Kristi Phipps, Elsie Phipps, Duncan Phipps, Jaycee Rider, Marissa Rhoden, Ruby Rhoden, Cecilia Rose, Jacquelyn Rothera, Sue Sailor, Shellie Smiley, Amanda Smith, Dianne Smith, Julia Sponseller, Aimee Stabley, Jeanne Swope, Lea Ukpere, Shan Warren.
