Community Need:
A significant measure of need put forth by educational organizations is the number of students that qualify to receive free and reduced lunches. In Durham Public Schools nearly 52% of students are eligible for that federal program.
Additionally, 31 schools in Durham are Title I schools meaning that majority of the student population has been identified as economically disadvantaged.
The Impact:
Together, we can help ensure all students have the supplies they need to be academically successful. Every year Crayons2Calculators distributes more than $100,000 of school supplies to local teachers. We proudly serve every school in Durham County providing classroom essentials ranging from pencils to notebooks, art supplies, paper and more.
