We thank you for your contributions if you have shopped at a local Cobb County Publix and opted to support the Tools for Back to School campaign. Your donation will go to help Cobb County students who need support with basic school necessities, such as pens, markers, crayons, or notebooks. In most cases, teachers have been known to purchase school supplies using their own money to provide these resources. Thanks to the Tools for Back-to-School campaign, teachers and students can focus on doing what’s most important, teaching and learning respectively. 

“The Cobb Schools Foundation is overjoyed to receive the generosity of our local Publix shoppers. These gift cards will be distributed throughout the county to serve students in needs as well as teachers who are doing all that they can to create the best learning experience for students”, shared Frank Wigington, President of the Cobb Schools Foundation.

Cobb County School District has 114 schools throughout and approximately 110,000 students enrolled, where over 40% are considered economically disadvantaged. These gift cards will go directly towards supporting the needs of students and teachers in the district.

The Cobb Schools Foundation is a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit and is the philanthropic arm for the school district and focuses on family stabilization, learning interventions, scholarships, and career development for students. The mission of the Foundation is together, taking student success to new heights.
