Greater School Supplies Drive | Greater Nevada Credit Union

Greater Nevada Credit Union’s members, employees, and other supporters unite each summer to collect and donate new school supplies to help local students start the new school year on the right foot. This collective effort highlights our passion for our kids’ educational success.

Helping Nevada’s Students, Teachers, and Schools

Many students lack the necessary supplies to succeed in the classroom, and teachers often use personal funds to purchase them. According to the National Education Alliance, teachers across the country spend between $500 and $750 out-of-pocket to subsidize their classrooms, and inflation has caused the prices of school supplies to increase nearly 24% within the past two years.

Since launching in 2021 and measuring with a standard shopping cart, GNCU’s Greater School Supplies Drive has collected and donated a significant amount of supplies over the years!

2024: 14 shopping carts full of supplies donated + 150 books to Spread the Word Nevada
2023: 22 shopping carts full of supplies donated
2022: 17 shopping carts full of supplies donated
2021: 15 shopping carts full of supplies donated

Thank You to Everyone Who Donated!

Everyone has the opportunity to make a significant difference in the lives of others throughout the year. No matter the time, the following community organizations could use your support to help fuel educational endeavors and personal well-being for those in need.
