5TH ANNUAL SCHOOL SUPPLY DRIVE
AUGUST 3, 2024

Imagine being excited for the first day of school, but not having the backpack or supplies needed to walk into the classroom prepared. For hundreds of local students, that challenge is very real.

​

At Written in Red, we believe every child deserves to walk into school equipped, supported, and ready to succeed.

​

This year, the average cost to fully equip one student is $100, and our goal is to provide supplies for 500 students at our Seventh Annual School Supply Drive.

​

Thank you to our community's support we have been able to raise over $21,000 toward the 2026 School Supply Drive! Wow! 

​

These funds allow us to purchase the necessary supplies for students in Artesia, Lake Arthur, Hagerman, and Cloudcroft.

​
