Gilbert, Ariz. - Gilbert's annual school supply drive is back and community members are invited to help us stock classrooms with the essential supplies students and teachers need for a successful school year.
Many teachers purchase classroom supplies out of their own pockets to meet their students' needs every school year. By participating in Stock the Classroom, our community can help ease that burden and ensure every child has access to the tools they need to learn, grow, and succeed.
Last year's drive collected more than $9,800 worth of school supplies, along with $2,500 in financial donations all made possible by the Gilbert community.
From July 20 through August 3, 2026, the community is invited to donate school supplies that directly benefit classrooms in Gilbert Public Schools and Higley Unified School District.
Supplies Needed This Year:
Notebooks
Dry erase boards and markers
