The 2025-26 school year starts on August 7th! Help us support local children in need through our Back to School project. As the needs for classroom supplies change and often teachers need specific items, we are asking for monetary donations this year. The total amount raised will be evenly distributed between the following six elementary schools: Atkinson, King, Frayser, Rutherford, Semple and the West End School.
In honor of our 125th anniversary, we’re looking for 125 donations.
- $25 Provides a year’s worth of supplies.
- $35 Provides a backpack stocked with a year’s worth of supplies.
Donations are tax-deductible. Checks should be made payable to the Louisville Bar Center and mailed to: 600 W. Main St., Ste. 110, Louisville, KY 40202.
We have worked directly with the Family Resource Centers in the above schools to match children with necessary supplies. This process ensures that all donations reach students and families with the greatest need.
Please submit donations by August 31st.

“The individual snacks have been used for students in the afternoons who possibly didn’t eat enough lunch or are just hungry and need an afternoon pick-me-up. We have also made good use of them with students who are at school late. We have several buses that don’t get to us until well after dismissal.. I honestly can’t thank you enough for being willing to steer away from traditional supplies and address our real needs.”
-Family Resource Center Coordinator at Frayser Elementary
