* SCHOOL SUPPLIES FOR STUDENTS 2024 – Worcester County
August 13
With Your Help, Every Student Can Thrive!
Each year, Worcester GOLD receives 300+ student school supply requests from our partnering agencies, the caseworkers, nurses, therapists, and advocates that work directly with children in foster care and families struggling with poverty and low-income circumstances in Worcester County, Maryland.
To ensure each child has what they need to succeed for the school year, we encourage the community to assist us by donating money, and supplies, or signing up to shop for a student.
WHAT IS A SHOPPER?
Anyone can be a shopper – an individual, business, church, or organization. All you need to do is click the button below and fill out a quick form.
Once you’ve submitted the form, we’ll match you with a student (or students!) from Worcester County. We work closely with local schools to ensure you get a list of supplies that the student(s) you’re shopping for need.
Want to make a real difference? Become a shopper and directly support a student’s educational journey. Sign up by August 14th!

For the students who don’t get matched with a shopper, we pack their backpacks with donated supplies. Purchase supplies, host a fundraiser, or put a donation drop-box at your business!
