13th Annual School Supply Drive

Learn about UC San Diego's school supply drive.

Teachers spend a lot their own money buying supplies for their students. Help us alleviate their burden.

Supply Pick Up/Drop Off

August 5 - September 13, 2019

What They Need

• Spiral notebooks, binders, binder paper, drawing pads
• Crayons, colored pencils, markers, highlighters, paints, art supplies
• Kid's books and software (including large print books) (Gently used welcome too!)
• Backpacks and lunchpails
• Pens, pencils, erasers, rulers
• Coloring books, activity books, flashcards, stickers
• New and gently used kid's clothing and shoes

How It Works

• The UCSD community donates supplies to collection boxes hosted by departments.
• We collect the school supplies and distribute them to disadvantaged schools across San Diego County.
• Just a reminder: We cannot accept any materials that were purchased with UCSD funds.

UC San Diego Bookstore

The Bookstore has generously offered to host collection boxes in the store for you to drop off your donations.
