Supply It Forward
Supplying backpacks & school supplies for 1,200 students annually.
Each year, AEF hosts its annual Supply It Forward back to school supply drive. The event is available to all students on free & reduced lunch, but must register to attend. Students shop for all the supplies they need to be creative, innovative, and excellent!
During the event, students receive much needed school supplies and a free goody bag. A resource area is available to families with community resources and supports for families.
Save the Date!
The 2025 Supply it Forward event will take place on Saturday, July 19, 2025. We hope you will join us again to continue this wonderful tradition of supporting our school community.

Thanks to your generosity and commitment, last year we were able to fill an incredible 826 backpacks with essential school supplies for students in need on the day of the event. Additionally, 142 more backpacks were filled and delivered to students in the weeks leading up to the start of school.
We were thrilled to have several community resource partners join us at the event, sharing their services and providing support to our families. We are also proud to share that 230 vaccinations were provided completely free of charge to those who needed them, ensuring our students are ready and safe for the new school year.
Your support made all this possible, and we cannot thank you enough.
