“We provide a free, anonymous store inside schools filled with hygiene products, easy-to-eat food items, school-code clothing, and school supplies. By supplying students with the essentials, we aim to ensure that each child starts the school day healthy, confident and ready to learn.”

“Student Success Stores SSS exists to meet the basic needs of students in grades 6-12 from economically disadvantaged communities and to remove barriers to learning that can be created when life necessities are unavailable. Our work is designed with a deliberate focus on providing a foundation for the students we serve that leads to successful outcomes in life. We partner with school counselors, administrators, teachers, and non-profits to open our stores in schools serving students living in poverty. Our stores are filled with no-cost hygiene products, easy-to-eat food items, snacks and mobile meals, school-code clothing, and school supplies. Schools provide the space to house the store and identify school personnel to shop with students. SSS supplies products and volunteers, as well as creating a space where students can shop with dignity and privacy. Over the last fiscal year, we have stores in 14 Central Ohio public schools, and have given access to products to over 5,000 students. In addition, we have distributed over 10,000 hygiene, school supply, food, and period kits to students.”
