2024 Back-To-School Drive

As the new school year rolls around and students look forward to entering a new year filled with learning, the Almond Blossom Initiative is once again hard at work making education more accessible to every student, no matter their financial background. This year, we packed thirty backpacks of supplies including pencils, pencil cases, pencil sharpeners, glue sticks, and much more, and donated other supplies such as washcloths, wipes, and soap.

The Almond Blossom Initiative has been working with local school Phillis Wheatly Elementary for the past four years to achieve its founding mission of minimizing the effects of generational poverty in education.

Thanks to the efforts of the members of the Almond Blossom and our generous community, the organization has been able to continue donating supplies and resources to Phillis Wheatly Elementary School, a school located in one of the poorest areas in central Florida.

Supporting disadvantaged students is critical. Every child deserves an education, and they are not at fault for being unable to afford to buy the supplies listed on their school supply lists. The Almond Blossom is grateful to have the opportunity to provide these students with fresh supplies to start the new school year and continues to provide support for these students.
