What is Pack for a Purpose?

Pack for a Purpose is a customizable activity that brings your team together to assemble supply kits at your office or event. Each kit directly supports local teachers and students. Once you're done packing the kits, you can either: (1) return the kits to Schoolhouse Supplies, and we will distribute them to local schools in need, OR (2) connect with a school near you for distribution in your area!
