School Supply Fund
Make a School Supply Donation
Your gift helps provide backpacks and school supplies for students in our community—supporting a strong start to the school year.
All online donations are processed securely. Donations are used directly to purchase school supplies for children and families.
ICI is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and all donations are tax-deductible as allowed by law.
Helping Students Start the School Year Prepared
Each year, ICI serves hundreds of children and families through its Back-to-School Bash by providing backpacks and essential school supplies. These donations help reduce financial strain for families and allow students to begin the school year equipped and confident.
School supply donations support families across Cicero, Humboldt Park, and surrounding Chicago-area neighborhoods.
How School Supply Donations Are Used
Donations help ICI purchase and distribute:
Backpacks
Grade-appropriate school supplies
Classroom and learning materials
Supplies for students participating in ICI programs
This support allows ICI to serve more families and respond to need efficiently.
Prefer to Donate Supplies Instead?
Many churches, organizations, and individuals may choose to build complete school supply boxes rather than give financially. If you’d like to coordinate a supply drive or donate items, please email us.
