To be successful in school, kids need the right tools. Many students attending Columbus City Schools don’t have access to necessary school supplies. Since 2021, EASE has teamed up with NBC4 for its annual Stuff the Backpack initiative to provide essential school supplies for Central Ohio students in need.

EASE increased its 2022 give to include collecting and delivering supplies and housing collected supplies in its warehouse. With EASE’s help, students received more than 30k backpacks full of supplies.
