School Supply Lists - if you want to sponsor a student(s) or just purchase bulk items - this is the page for you! The students who need assistance are listed at the top of the page. Bulk items are lower down on the page. THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH for any assistance you can offer this year as we try to help all our local kids have a successful school year.

SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE FOR OUR BULK LIST - THERE ARE STILL A FEW MORE $15 GIFT CARDS NEEDED (OR THE REGULAR $25 GIFT CARDS) THERE. ↓
CAN YOU SPONSOR A CHILD FOR THE 2012 SCHOOL SUPPLY DRIVE?
All students are sponsored (YEA!) - still some gift cards needed (see below).
Below are the grades and gender for the children in the families we are helping (as of now!). New this year – to streamline the process and make our volunteers’ works significantly easier, we are ...
running the drive for 2 weeks instead of three
using $15 gift cards to Target/Kmart/Staples to allow families to supplement the Generic Supply List.
Alsonew, we are adding a few college students to the "needs" list. (T&E Care supports some students in college anyway and it's great when we can help supplement their basic needs now and then! )
See below for the Generic School Supply Lists. Remember, please buy ONLY what is on the Generic School Supply Lists for each student. We are using the bulk list to provide the other items required for students by the schools. Included on the bulk list are $15 gift cards (Kmart, Target and Staples) which families can use to buy items they need that aren’t on the Generic School Supply Lists.
For anyone interested in providing additional assistance - gift cards for food and clothing stores are appreciated.
If you want to sponsor a child or make a donation, or if you have any questions, - please email schoolsupply@tecare.org.We will confirm details with you before you go shopping.

GENERIC SCHOOL SUPPLY LIST 2012 - BY LEVEL To be used when sponsoring a student
If you are sponsoring a student, PLEASE use the T&E Care Generic School Supply Lists (below) for that student. This is NOT the same exact list that you might get from each school's website or newsletter. Because each school and each grade do things slightly differently, T&E Care has put together a Generic School Supply List of commonly needed items and will combine that with our bulk list and gift card donations. If you'd like to download the generic list to take to the store - CLICK HERE for a PDF version. Please note that backpacks are NOT on the generic list this year. They have been moved to the Bulk List. Please note that binders are NO LONGER NEEDED THANKS TO A DONATION FROM STRYKER ORTHOBIOLOGICS (Malvern).

IF YOU'D RATHER JUST GET BULK ITEMS
If you are the type of shopper that just wants to worry about one or two types of items - then the Bulk List is for you! You can offer to buy all of an item from this list, just a few, or anything inbetween. Each of the items listed below are more specific to certain schools and certain grades - so on sorting day T&E Care volunteers will figure out which students need these and add them to the bags. Back packs are on this list as every child does not need a back pack. NOTE: backpacks should NOT have offensive decorations (ie - skulls) or decorations that are too taste specific (ie: Justin Beiber).
If you want to make a bulk donation, or if you have any questions, - please email schoolsupply@tecare.org.We will confirm details with you before you go shopping.

HATE TO SHOP? GIFT CARDS ARE HELPFUL TOO! Don't forget that we'll also take gift cards to general local stores so we can offer families the chance to get some clothes for their kids to start the year, or so the kids can go to school having eaten a good breakfast. These should be mailed (along with the Donation Check List) to T&E Care, attn: Debbie Weger, 540 Contention Lane, Berwyn, PA 19312.
If you plan to send in gift cards, or if you have any questions, - please email schoolsupply@tecare.org. It's just helpful for us to know what to plan for.
REMEMBER: We need all items prior to our sorting day on Aug. 2.
NOTE for donations related to special events: At times the response of our community is greater than the particular need for which we are soliciting. In these cases, any donations collected in excess of that need will go into general T & E Care funds to be used for other means of assistance to local families. Rest assured it will not go to waste (nor will it be used for any salaries or similar administrative expenses - because we have only volunteers!)
T&E Care is an IRS recognized non-profit organization under section 501(c)(3) of the tax code. The official registration and financial information of Tredyffrin & Easttown Care may be obtained from the Pennsylvania Department of State by calling toll free, within Pennsylvania, 1 (800) 732-0999. Registration does not imply endorsement.
**IMPORTANT NOTE** If you change your email address - please remember to notify us so we can keep you on our email list!!
