The Concord Afton-Sunset Rotary Club’s “SchoolTools” Drive is an annual initiative dedicated to equipping students across Cabarrus County, NC, with the supplies they need to succeed. This impactful program collects donations of essential school supplies such as notebooks, pencils, backpacks, and more to ensure every student has the tools required for a productive and confident start to the school year. By partnering with local businesses, community organizations, and generous individuals, “SchoolTools” helps bridge the gap for students in need, supporting their education and fostering a positive learning environment for all.

Each year, the Concord Afton-Sunset Rotary Club works tirelessly to gather, sort, organize, and distribute these supplies to every school in the Cabarrus County and Kannapolis City Schools systems, reaching thousands of students and teachers. This initiative provides much-needed resources and demonstrates the community’s commitment to supporting education and the success of its young learners. Through “SchoolTools,” our Rotary Club exemplifies its dedication to service. It ensures that no student is left behind due to a lack of basic school essentials. Together, we’re empowering the next generation, one backpack at a time.
