Download the List of School Supplies and Donate Here poster to promote your drive.

Put out boxes or containers (any container will do – get creative with it to help catch their eye!) in a high-traffic area of your workplace. Print out posters from Step 1 to help your team know what supplies to collect, or create and post a QR code to easily bring them to the supply list.

Encourage your coworkers, friends, neighbors, and/or customers to donate.

Send emails, post on social media, promote on your company’s intranet, talk about it at team meetings, etc., to invite people to participate.

Organize and take inventory of the supplies collected on the Donation Inventory Sheet.

PRO TIP: This is a great time to organize a team photo with everyone who contributed and all the supplies you gathered! (and maybe your team will help count supplies during this time too!) Share this on social and use to help motivate your team again next year.

Drop off all supplies, inventory sheet, and financial contributions at the FARGODOME between 8 a.m. and noon on Wednesday, July 24. Supplies can be dropped off in the lobby of FARGODOME, just inside the main east entrance.

Don’t forget to celebrate the impact that you are making in our community!

Celebrate and thank those on your team who contributed supplies, advocated, spread the word, and motivated others to help support the drive. Share photos of your success, gratitude of support, and the impact that their donation has made.

YOU are helping us send 6,000 local K-12 students back to school this upcoming fall with a backpack full of supplies on their back and the confidence in their hearts to succeed. On behalf of those local students and their families – THANK YOU!

Select “Launch New Drive” under “Team Drives” on the right side of the webpage. You’ll be asked to sign into a previous account or create a free account.

Tip: when setting up a new account – enter the name of your company, book club, family name, neighborhood, etc. in the “Sponsor/Company Name” textbox.

Choose your drive name, team name, upload an optional logo or graphic, and create your URL for your drive’s webpage.

Motivate others by setting a goal based on the monetary amount or the number of items donated to your drive. Worried about setting your goal too low? If you reach it too quickly, you’re able to update this goal at any point while your drive is running.

• If you are a family, neighborhood, or smaller company, consider setting a goal of 500 items or $500 in items donated.
• If you are a larger company with an engaged and generous team, challenge them to hit a goal of 1,000 items or $1,000 worth of items donated.
• We need and appreciate each and every donation – please know that every amount is impactful to the overall drive and helps us reach our goal of helping 6,000 students start the school year successfully.

All online drives will close on Wednesday, July 10, but you may choose to close your drive earlier. The earlier you give, the more time we have to buy in bulk!

Have fun encouraging teammates, family, friends, neighbors, etc. to contribute to your drive! Consider turning it into a challenge or offering an incentive for those who participate. Share the opportunity to donate on your social media, in newsletters and at meetings. People love to shop online wish lists, so this is a great way to inspire others to give back with you.

Challenge your group by providing fun updates on progress and thanking individuals who gave along the way to inspire others to participate in your drive’s success!
