school supply drive
Educational materials collection
A school supply drive is an organized effort to collect donations of items students need for class—pencils, notebooks, backpacks, crayons—typically distributed to families who can't afford them.
Churches, businesses, and community groups often sponsor drives before the school year begins: The office is holding a school supply drive through August.
