Pencils and Paper - a Program of Jewish Family Services

Pencils and Paper - a Program of Jewish Family Services Over 50% of Rochester’s children live in poverty. Rochester's child poverty rate is the second-highest among U.S. cities with a population of 200,000 or more.

Pencils & Paper serves the educational and creative needs of children in the Greater Rochester Area by providing free school supplies to teachers at high poverty schools. It is hard to imagine a child who does not have a pencil and paper to complete basic daily lessons, and yet every day in public, private, charter and parochial schools in our community, children of all ages attend class without t

he most basic supplies needed to be successful in school. Moreover, dedicated teachers often spend between $500 and $1,000 of their own money each school year to insure that the students in their classrooms have the tools they need to learn.
