SEAS: Student Educational & Academic Success

Hello Everyone,

The picture shows the breakdown of how we prepare an individual bag per grade level and the total supplies we need to make all bags.

I have added in the units for those who have asked.

Amazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3GQISXCAF4LCM?ref=cm_sw_em_r_un_un_tNGBuX27loaOM

The Wishlist is for convenience for those who want to donate but are unable to meet, drop off or allow for us to pick up supplies form you. The list below depicts what we need to reach our goal.

Supplies can be dropped off to Carmella’s Market, 86 Cottage Street, East Boston, MA 02128 (Monday – Saturday 8am – 6pm).
*We will be hosting an event at Volare, Broadway, Revere in the coming weeks and will post when we will be there**

We can always pick up supplies in person or you can send monetary donations with Zelle, Venmo, CashApp, Gift cards, etc.

Kristina, 617-398-0066, Venmo - , CashApp - $Kjones4206

We are planning to donate 225 bags between East Boston Public, Winthrop Public & Revere Public.
75 to Elementary Schools (25 per City/Town), 75 to Middle Schools (25 per City/Town) & 75 to High Schools (25 per City/Town).
The specific school breakdown we don’t know until we have finalized our total bags and called each school to see who is willing to accept the donations. But we will post follow up photos showing they have been donated and will have the final breakdown of how many bags went where.

For some background, my cousin and I just decided to do this because we have seen so many kids in need. We are not an official with the Commonwealth Nonprofit Organization but do hope to change that in the coming years. We collect school supplies, prepare backpacks and donate the pre-filled backpacks to the schools.

We donate specifically to the schools as the schools are aware of who may be in need. But if you or someone you know is struggling to get their student supplies please contact us directly.

We are grateful for all of you!

Hi everyone,

We hope you’re all enjoying the summer and getting some much needed relaxation! We will be posting the school supply lists for the upcoming school year within the next few days. Also, we will have areas where you can drop off supplies and will be hosting an event sometime in August. We just need to make sure we finalize everything! A new post within the next few days will have all the dates and locations.

Walmart, Target, Staples, Amazon, etc should be having back to school sales this month with some great deals. Pencils, pens, binders, notebooks, crayons and erasers are always in high demand. We will also be creating an Amazon wish list for online direct shipping and Venmo/Cash app/Zelle if you can’t get to the store. Every little bit helps students feel less self-conscious about not having enough materials.

As always, we appreciate your kindness and support to this cause. We’ve had countless principals and school admin reach out to thank everyone for helping out and donating. All information will be posted within the next few days.

Thank you !!!

Hi everyone,

We will be having a supply drop off on Tuesday September 7th from 6pm-9pm at Volare in Revere. We will be accepting supplies, gift cards, monetary donations, etc. So come down and have some dinner and drinks to support a great cause.

Address: Volare Revere 388 Broadway Revere, MA, 02151 from 6pm-9pm

We have an Amazon link with the necessary supplies. However, you do not have to purchase anything from Amazon. You can chose the store of your choice. I know Walmart, Target, Staples, and Dollar Tree usually have back to school sales around this time, so take advantage where you can!

‼️‼️DONATE! DONATE! DONATE! ‼️‼️

We are back - GOAL IS 300 bags!
Help us help the kids in our communities today!!

What do we need?
We created an Amazon wish list that can be used as an easy way to purchase and send to us what we need but also to just help you see what we do need. You do not need to purchase these items from Amazon and can buy them from wherever you choose.

Amazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/32A1SK2837FTF?ref_=wl_share

How can you donate?
Contact us, you can direct message us here, Call/Text (617) 314-0816 or E-mail us at [email protected] - we can coordinate meet ups. In the next few weeks we will be hosting a drop off night at a local restaurant. Keep an eye on out!

What are we doing?
Collecting school supplies and backpacks. We fill each bag with the basic school supply necessities to help give the children in our communities the opportunity to succeed in school.

Why?
School can be a difficult time for students because each child has a different learning style. Also, it can be difficult due to the social pressures of our society. We don’t want any child to feel left out, or struggle academically because they don’t have the proper supplies.

How is it done?
Kristina and I, with the help of our family, friends, and community members will fill backpacks will school supplies and divide up the total amount of bags amongst 3 communities. We then divide the bags amongst all of the public schools and drop them off. After we drop them off, the schools will make sure the bags are distributed to those in need.

Anything else?
Yes, we also provide free notary services to high school seniors. Do you have a scholarship letter, or other school documentation that needs to be notarized? Call us today!

Kristina and I have always done this and in recent years decided to significant expand who we can help. We saw how wild everyone loved to get over social media challenges. Well here’s a challenge for you - donate, help us help our kids - tag us and use the hashtag

Hello everyone,

We’re back organizing our yearly school supply donations!

We know this past year and a half has been stressful for everyone, so we appreciate any help we receive. We hope to reach our goal of 300 filled bags to be distributed to all schools in Revere, Winthrop, and East Boston.

The items can be purchased at any place of your choice. To make it easy for people who don’t feel comfortable shopping yet, we created a list on Amazon for easy access to purchase and ship directly. We also accept gift cards and monetary donations if that is easier.

We hope to be able to have another drop off location at a restaurant this summer. We are currently in the process of finding a place, so we will update you all as soon as possible.

Thank you all so much for your continued support.

Here is the link to the amazon list:

Good morning everyone,

As we all know this past year and a half has been extremely stressful for us as well as students. We would like to thank all of the school administrators, teachers, support staff, janitorial staff, food service staff and anyone else who has went out of their way to make sure students have a safe space for learning.

It is that time of the year for our school supplies and backpack donations. We will be setting up another registry on Amazon for contactless shopping and delivery and will update as soon as possible. We will also post the basic supply lists this upcoming week. If anyone needs us to pick up donations please don’t hesitate to reach out.

If any teachers or school administrators know of any specific students that are in need, please let us know their grade level and we will help where we can!

As always, thank you for your help and support!
