While no guarantees are made nor implied, it is our intention to put the following supplies in the kits we will distribute this year.  Everything we provide is the results of the generosity of our many supporters.  We are grateful for the privilege of helping Central Illinois children start their school year with dignity.

While individual teachers may have special requests, the First Day Fund will provide the basics requested of all students.
