Why Donate to LP PENCIL Box 
According to the state report card, 74 percent of Metro School students are on free and reduced lunch, the federal definition of poverty. Unfortunately, many families can't afford to purchase the necessary supplies children need in the classroom. Your donations help get school supplies into the hands of the students who need them the most.

What is Needed
Donations to LP PENCIL Box can include many items. Teachers need basic school supplies for their economically disadvantaged students but they can also use surplus office supplies, decorations for classrooms and other miscellaneous items. It’s amazing how creative they can get with items you may consider tossing!

Most Needed Items - Spring Semester
  • Tissue
  • Hand Sanitizer
  • Paper Towels
  • Colored pencils
  • Construction paper
  • Index cards
  • Tabs and dividers (for 3-ring binders)
  • Staplers
  • Hole punch (single and 3-hole)
  • Tape dispensers
NOTE: LP PENCIL Box is closed for donations until January 5th when we will begin accepting donations on Tuesdays and Wednesdays between 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.

Recycle Your Office Supplies in the Classroom
LP PENCIL Box will take many items your office may think of throwing away. Why not recycle them in the classroom? If your business changes its logo or design, we can take your old letterhead, folders, binders, pencils or other items that contain the outdated design.
