Supplies for Success

Donations

Irving businesses and individuals are invited to participate in the Fifth Annual Mayor & Firefighters’ Supplies for Success school supply drive. This city-wide event is held to collect school supplies for economically disadvantaged students who attend school in Irving ISD.

All Irving fire stations will be collecting donations from July 6–August 7. Persons wishing to donate supplies are encouraged to visit their neighborhood fire station.

The counselors will give economically disadvantaged students supplies that they need at the beginning of the school year.

School supplies needed include:
