School supply donations have a positive impact on student's ability to learn

Studies have proven that when students have their own school supplies, their grades and classroom behavior improve and they become more excited about school and learning.

9 School Tools covers 22 counties and is the largest school supply drive in the Carolinas. Over the past 20 years, 9 School Tools has been able to serve over 3 million students.

From now until August 20, you can donate school supplies at over 90 donation locations across the Carolinas including WSOC-TV 9 Family Focus partner locations: Showmars, Ashley HomeStore, Hendrick Honda and E.R. Plumbing Services.  You can find your nearest donation location by clicking on this link.  9 School Tools Donation Locations
