Event Description
The Lindy Center for Civic Engagement is proud to announce our second annual campus-wide Back 2 School Supply Drive!

This year, the Back 2 School Supply Drive will support local students involved in the Lindy Scholars Middle School Program and the West Philadelphia Action for Early Learning (AFEL). The Lindy Scholars Program, managed by the Lindy Center for Civic Engagement, is a middle-school mentoring and tutoring program working with two local schools, Alain Locke and Martha Washington. Action for Early Learning is a Drexel-led collaboration of local community and education agencies working to improve the quality of early childhood education for children (childcare through third grade) and provides education support for families in Mantua.

We invite all Drexel staff, faculty, students, alumni, and community members to contribute by donating school supplies. Donations can be made in two ways:

• School supplies can be purchased directly from Amazon by visiting our wish list at https://amzn.com/w/3NJDF11DYO43C
Please be sure to select the gift option and include your name and email address in the comment box during checkout.
• Drop-off boxes are available at locations throughout campus.

Thank you in advance for all of your support! For more information regarding this drive, visit www.drexel.edu/lindycenter or contact Janeile Johnson at 215-895-5806 or JJohnson@drexel.edu.
