Order Out of Chaos® Tools For Schools Grant
It’s always been important to us at Order Out of Chaos that we give back to the community that supports us. In honor of our 10th “Plannerversary” we are thrilled to announce the first annual Order Out of Chaos® Tools for Schools $5000 Grant. This year’s recipient is Mashburn Elementary School of Forsyth County, Georgia. Visit our official Tools For Schools page for more details!
BACKPACK INITIATIVES
Westchester Jewish Community Services
We are so happy we can do our small part to help the Westchester Jewish Community Services’ Back-to-School Backpack Drive be a HUGE SUCCESS by donating all the academic planners! Each year volunteers fill backpacks with our planners, school supplies, and gift cards donated by multiple community organizations. Overall, these donations and contributions impact 1,000 children throughout their programs. Many of these children are from the most under-resourced communities in Westchester, making a great start to the school year all the more important.
The Sharing Shelf
We are so grateful that we can do our tiny part by donating all the academic planners for The Sharing Shelf’s annual back-to-school backpack drive every year since 2014. Their incredible volunteers assemble more than 600 backpacks each year. Their efforts ensure children and teens living in poverty right in our own backyard here in Westchester County will walk through the school doors carrying the tools they need.
UJA Federation New York
File this under making our hearts very happy! When we heard that the New York chapter of UJA was spearheading a "Supplies For Success" Backpack Campaign -- to provide school supplies to children in need, we knew that Order Out of Chaos® had to participate. We feel extremely fortunate that we were able to provide thousands of planners so that ALL children have a shot at success no matter what they have or where they are from. Being part of something bigger than ourselves makes us feel very empowered.
