The Princeton-Lowry Crossing Chamber Foundation provides 2,000 backpacks filled with school supplies to children of PISD, and organizers are looking for donations to fund the supplies.



This program is critical for many students to get the supplies they need for the school year, so any amount is appreciated. Please do not donate school supplies because the chamber uses a specific list by grade level to buy exactly what the students need.

To register as a vendor or make a donation, email Christi@PLCTXFoundation.org or call 972-736-6462.
