Tools for School provides back-to-school necessities to families in need. Financially qualified children from Hamilton County and zip codes 46240 and 46260 receive backpacks, school supplies, socks, shoes and underwear, a lightweight jacket, and a book to start the school year.

We assisted over 3,441 children in 2022. It takes over 1,000 volunteers to make this project happen! We registered 1,379 families in 2022 and then served over 1,400. Please help us!

Please consider donating new supplies, or we can do the shopping for you when you sponsor a child. We buy in bulk and look for discounts.

In addition to collecting donations from our parish and community, we are looking for volunteers to help with set-up and distribution the 3rd weekend in July. This is a great way for teens to earn service hours and for all families to give back to the community and serve those in need!
