Every August, thousands of Greenville County students walk into their first day of school with a backpack full of supplies, picked out and packed just for them. School Tools closes the gap for families who are stretched thin, working directly from Greenville County Schools’ supply lists so every backpack is grade appropriate and ready to go on day one.

None of this happens without our corporate partners. Local companies host supply drives, rally employees to shop and donate, and show up to sort, pack and check thousands of backpacks before the big event. Some sponsor a grade level, others hand out backpacks on distribution day itself, and all of them help make sure Greenville County students start the school year confident, prepared and ready to succeed.
