ProjectCool School Supply Drive ~ Don Koonce

The simple beauty of Project Cool:

Every homeless student who receives a new backpack can walk into class with the same new tools and good supplies as their classmates, and not feel unprepared or embarrassed.

Project Cool helps hundreds of homeless schoolchildren each year. We give each child a sturdy new backpack filled with quality school supplies, books, toothbrushes, and more. We train school staff and social workers about supporting homeless students.

Get involved!

Project Cool for Back-to-School happens each year thanks to people like you. We welcome your help!

$60 will provide 1 student with a new backpack, filled with quality school supplies, age appropriate books, and key basic health items.
$100 will allow 25 high school 9th graders to write their first high school essays in new spiral notebooks.
$200 will color the lives of 30 young students as they begin kindergarten with new crayons, markers, and colored pencils.
