School
Supply Drive
Making sure Minnesota students start the school year ready to learn - with backpacks, notebooks, and everything they need to succeed.
Every student ready to learn
Each year before school starts, Thielen Foundation partners with community organizations to distribute backpacks and school supplies to Minnesota students who need them. From pencils to notebooks to calculators to full backpacks, we make sure kids can walk in ready to succeed.
Beyond supplies, the drive is a celebration of the school year ahead. Volunteers, families, and students come together for a day of hope and excitement. It's a reminder that our community stands behind every young person's education and future.
