Help Kids Start the Year Confident and Prepared
At Tri-Lakes Cares, we believe no child should have to start the school year without the tools they need to succeed—and no family should have to choose between school supplies and everyday essentials like groceries. Our community can come together to support children in need by donating to our Back2School Supply Drive.
Our Back2School Supply Drive offers ways to give all year long. You can support students anytime by ordering from our Amazon Wishlist or donating directly. During the summer months—leading up to July 11—you can also shop locally and drop off school supplies and backpacks directly at Tri-Lakes Cares.
Last year we helped over 80 students start the school year with the supplies they needed
Option 1: Order from TLC's Amazon Wishlist
Choose from a curated list of school supplies and backpacks on Amazon that will be shipped directly to Tri-Lakes Cares. It’s a quick, easy way to make a difference!

Option 2: Shop on your own
Download our list of needed items and shop locally or wherever you prefer. Perfect for those who love in-person shopping and can drop off within the specified window.
Drop Off until July 11th
Option 3: Make a Monetary Donation
If you prefer, you can make a direct contribution and we’ll do the shopping for you! Your donation allows us to purchase exactly what’s needed for each student.
