Hundreds answered the call to support our teachers during the first ABC13 Share Your School Supplies Drive. Eyewitness News anchors and reporters worked Friday morning to gather donations of school supplies with our Teachers Aid program, which provides resources for teachers in low income schools.
Together, we raised $22,431.37, with thousands of pounds of individual donations still being counted in Houston, Galveston, Richmond/Rosenberg, Spring and Sugar Land.
Last year, educators in Texas spent more than $300 million of their own money for pencils, folders, notebook paper and other tools their students need to succeed. The Houston Food Bank program is working every day to show teachers they are not alone.
There’s still time to help: Donate online or text “SYSS2024” to 71777.
