We are collecting new school supplies to assist schoolchildren in the Bronx Two Ways To Help
Monday July 15 - Friday August 16
This initiative is part of our Center for Social Impact and aims to empower local students with the tools they need to succeed academically. We believe every child deserves access to quality education, and by participating, you can make a direct impact in enhancing learning opportunities and supporting future generations in our community.

Donate For Supplies
We know that purchasing your own supplies to drop-off can be a fun and meaningful adventure, but did you know donating cash is the most effective way to help communities in need?
We are able to get exactly what the communities need, get them delivered faster, and we are able to save time by not having to sort items — that’s time that can be used on other important projects. It also saves you a trip to the store, as only new supplies can be donated.
Want to maximize your impact? Make a tax-deductible donation to Riverdale Y’s Center for Social Impact to support this campaign.
