2021 Back-to-School Drives in San Antonio

August 8, 2021

Believe it or not, it’s that time of year again! Back-to-school season is one of my favorite times of year. Aisles of every store in town are bursting with pencils, erasers, and stickers, and everyone is eager to get back into a solid routine.

Even though school might look a little different this year, we all still need supplies to gear our kids up for success. The unfortunate truth about school supplies, though, is that they can be expensive. More than ever, local families need our help to make sure all kids, regardless of where they live and attend school, are equipped with the basics to make this the best year yet!

If you’re interested in alleviating a bit of stress in another parent or teacher’s life, to help give kids an equal start at the onset of the new academic year, check out our round-up of area school supply drives below. Lend a helping hand, if you can, and spread that back-to-school cheer!

*Note, this list may not include every school supply drive in the city, but we researched and polled our social communities to include as many as possible. If you have one to share, please add it in the comments section.
