Every year, GOLD helps children in need by providing them with school supplies. Each child receives a backpack filled with school and grade-specific supplies, tailored to their individual needs. By doing so, GOLD ensures that every child has an equal opportunity for success.
A simple act of kindness can go a long way, and that’s what GOLD is all about. GOLD receives 300+ requests for school supplies from its community partners on behalf of families in need.
Who do we help?
Worcester County families struggling with low income, including:
Families in Transition (Homeless Students)

Students with Special Needs
Children of Single-Parent Homes
How Can You Help?
As a small organization, we can only meet the level of need in our community with your help!
- Shop – Sign up and purchase supplies for a student in need. We’ll provide their shopping list!
- Supplies – Purchase supplies from our list and help us fill requests!
- Donate – Help us purchase needed supplies.
Please consider shopping for a student or donating school supplies to help children in need start the new school year on the right foot. Your contribution can make a huge difference!
Shop
Looking for a way to positively impact a student’s life? Why not become a shopper! A shopper can be anyone, from an individual to a business, church, or organization, who is willing to purchase necessary supplies for a student in need.
It’s super easy – just fill out our short request form and we’ll match you with a local student (or students) in need. You’ll get their list of required supplies, and then you can go shopping!
By becoming a shopper, you can make a real difference in the lives of local students and help them succeed in school.
Donate
If you’re interested in supporting the program but don’t want to shop, you can make a monetary donation to help provide school supplies for those in need! GOLD will use the funds to purchase needed supplies.
To donate, simply mail a check to Worcester County GOLD at PO Box 335, Snow Hill, MD 21863 or you can donate online using the link below! Don’t forget to mention “school supplies” on the check memo or online donation details.
Join us in our mission to provide every student with the tools they need to succeed!

For the students who are not matched with a shopper, GOLD packs their backpacks with donated supplies.
