The Scott Martella School Supplies Drive

The Scott Martella Supply Our Students Drive has been connecting students in need with school supplies since 2004. Every summer, we collect backpacks and school supplies for students experiencing homelessness right here on Long Island. Over 20,000 backpacks filled with supplies have been distributed to students in need.

School supplies can be dropped off at our office or donated via Amazon Wishlist!
