Help Us Fill Our Classrooms For Back-to-School!
As we gear up for a brand new school year, INK! is calling on our St. Johns County community to help us ensure that every student and teacher starts the year with the tools they need to succeed in the classroom.
The 2025–2026 School Supply Drive officially kicks off this week and continues through August 31, 2025. Your support helps us stock INK!’s Tools 4 Schools store, a free resource where St. Johns County teachers can shop for classroom supplies to support their students.
Last year, INK! delivered over $140,000 in supplies and resources to classrooms across the county. With your help, we can do even more this year!
Here’s how you can help:

Let’s make the 2025–2026 school year the best one yet!
The Tools 4 Schools program is made possible by annual donations from supporters like The Bailey Group, THE PLAYERS Championship, Florida Blue, and Staples as well as local businesses, churches, and community organizations that host collection drives including David Weekly Homes, Northrop Grumman, Panache Salon & Day Spa, Solar Stik, the St. Johns County Tax Collector, St. Patrick’s Episcopal Church, and VyStar Credit Union.
For over 15 years, the Tools 4 Schools program has operated out of The Bailey Group Resource Depot, where donated supplies are stored and distributed to classrooms throughout the school year. Teachers can order supplies online each month and orders are filled and delivered by INK! staff and volunteers to their schools.
