Crayons and Beyond Fills School Supply Gaps | Cincinnati News

When kids can’t afford pencils or paper, their education suffers—especially in schools where half the students rely on free or reduced-price meals. Crayons and Beyond is stepping in to erase that barrier, providing essential school supplies from pre-K through 12th grade, plus hygiene kits, food, and warm clothes. Teachers are often forced to cover the cost themselves as prices soar, making this mission even more urgent. Now they’re launching a “Push for Pencils” drive, asking for donations of supplies, cash, and volunteers to keep their community store stocked and running. Every contribution helps level the playing field so no child’s potential is held back by a lack of basics. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
