Ready, Set, School! Book and Supply Drive

Vanguard’s Strong Start for Kids Program gives children growing up in poverty the opportunity to grow, thrive, and learn, with a focus on improving school readiness.  As part of this mission, Strong Start helps childcare centers provide high-quality classrooms with materials and supplies that challenge kids to learn. Our selected child care centers are in urgent need of essential supplies as they welcome back kids this fall.

You can easily help by donating most-needed items online and automatically receive the 100% Vanguard match on your purchases as part of Vanguard Gives Back program, simply enter your company email address at checkout for match verification. At the end of the campaign, Vanguard will provide a direct 100% match to the affiliated site Strong Start for Kids program. No additional action is needed to process the match.

All supplies ordered online will be shipped directly to the child care centers at the end of the drive. Prices include shipping and handling, and you will be emailed a donation receipt at checkout.
