Mercy Drops Dream Center is thrilled to announce the launch of our 5th Annual School Supply Drive! This initiative aims to provide essential learning tools and resources to students in need, ensuring they start the next phase of the academic year with the confidence and enthusiasm required to succeed.

Education is a powerful catalyst for change, and with your support, we can significantly impact local students' lives. By joining our School Supply Drive, you become an integral part of a community-wide effort to bridge educational gaps and empower the next generation. Every pencil, notebook, backpack, or more you contribute brings us one step closer to creating a learning environment where every student has the tools they need to thrive.

This year, we are setting ambitious goals to reach even more students and teachers and make a lasting difference in their educational journeys and careers. Your generosity can make this possible. Whether you donate supplies, volunteer your time, or spread the word about our School Supply Drive, every action counts.

And our favorite part? Helping teachers stock their classrooms to make their jobs as easy as A-B-C! (Just kidding - they have some of the world's most challenging and demanding jobs, but we want to make it as easy as possible). We love getting to support our community rockstars and can't wait for you to join us! This turning point in the school year is when supplies have run low, and teachers are restocking their classrooms with money out of their own pockets to give their students the tools they need to succeed.
