Meeting Needs, Restoring Dignity

School Worx breaks barriers to education and stability—with school supplies, rent aid, and urgent care. Every act of kindness builds hope.

Get to know us

We’re not just a nonprofit—we’re neighbors helping neighbors. What started as a family handing out sandwiches from their kitchen grew into a movement powered by lawyers, teachers, students, and grandparents who believe no child should miss school over a $12 uniform.

Meet the people who make it happen:

  • Michael, our founder, who still loads his car with socks and granola bars "just in case"

  • Grace & Jack, the siblings who convinced their friends to trade birthday gifts for backpack donations

  • Board members who’ve spent decades fighting for educational equity

  • Volunteers who show up before dawn to pack holiday meals

Behind every backpack and repaired car is a person who said, "I can do something." Come see who we are
