Providing school supplies annually to students served by Wilder.
Join Wilder’s Tools for School Success Drive and help equip students with the supplies they need to thrive in the classroom. When you donate backpacks or snack packs, you’re not just giving school supplies—you’re helping children focus, families feel supported, and communities thrive. Your support helps break down barriers and promote equity for students served through Wilder programs.
All supplies and backpacks should be new. Backpacks and supplies are needed for elementary, middle, and high school students. Please use the shopping lists to purchase your supplies.
Whether you fill one backpack or 100, know that you are helping students start the school year with supplies they need to succeed in the classroom.
Backpacks and supplies will be accepted July 29 – August 15, 2025. A Wilder staff member will meet you in the Wilder Center lobby to accept your donations. If a drop-off slot is full or you need a time that is not listed, please email [email protected].
Place all items into a gallon-size zip top plastic bag, remove the air from the bag, and seal. Avoid snacks that contain nuts or peanut butter, snacks with foil lids, water bottles, and glass containers.
Snack packs will be accepted July 29 – August 15, 2025. A Wilder staff member will meet you in the Wilder Center lobby to accept your donations. If a drop-off slot is full or you need a time that is not listed, please email [email protected].
