Summer Program and College Orientation Supply Drive
We're working year-round supporting Heights students' needs. We provide mentoring, resources, and connect students to opportunities. Now, help provide the tools they need to thrive with a donation to our supply fund. Help fund our mission!
Supplies are tools for success!
By providing these supplies, you aren't just giving "stuff"—you're sending a student the message that their education is worth investing in, 365 days a year.
Historically, we have created a shopping cart wish list, and friends and family of Heights students came through to fulfill it. However, we've determined that a fund will allow us to be more nimble and strategic with how we purchase our supplies. Plus, we can thank you better using this platform!
Your gift will not only provide the supplies our students need for success, but it will also fund the entire mission – catalyzing economic mobility for Philly youth.
We thank you for the myriad of ways you show up for our students!
Receiving the supplies at the Heights orientation made me feel so much more confident and prepared for my first semester. The transition from high school to college was overwhelming but knowing that Heights had already thought about what I needed made me feel genuinely welcomed and supported, like I wasn't navigating this transition alone. It was a reminder that Heights has been there for every step of my journey, and that didn't stop when I got out of high school.
Having these supplies also took a real weight off my shoulders financially. As a first-year student on a tight budget, I was able to redirect money I would have spent on notebooks, pens, and other essentials toward groceries and transportation instead.
