Help equip students with the tools they need to thrive. Together, we can ensure that every student has the support they need to succeed in school and in life.

Tools For School is a community-driven program that has expanded from our previous Stuff The Bus initiative. It
provides both material and non-material support to students from families that are Asset Limited, Income
Constrained, Employed (ALICE), and struggling with the basic cost of living. Our mission is to equip students with the
tools they need for academic success and to help alleviate financial burdens for families.

TOGETHER, WE CAN SET EVERY BUCKS COUNTY STUDENT UP FOR SUCCESS!

When you support Tools for School, you ensure that kids don’t feel left behind before they even start learning.

Tools for School 2025 is presented by Univest Financial and is sponsored by Comcast, Foundations Community Partnership, PECO, Peoples Security Bank & Trust.

HOW YOUR DOLLARS HELP

In Bucks County, 4 out of every 25 kids are from economically insecure families. Tools for School ensures that every kid in Bucks County – regardless of income – returns to the classroom with the tools they need to excel.

*If we meet the needs of all students on our list, remaining funds may be used to help those in Bucks County with similar needs throughout the year.
