ICECF to Donate School Supplies to an Entire School in Chicago

The Illinois Currency Exchange Charitable Foundation (ICECF), believes education is the key to America’s future, and every child deserves the opportunity to be successful in school. To help make this possible, ICECF is awarding supplies to an entire school through its annual Win School Supplies Program. Each student at the winning school will receive an individual age appropriate school supply kit.

The ICECF Win School Supplies Program is open to all Chicago schools with students from Pre-Kindergarten through High School. Parents, students, faculty and even community members are all encouraged to submit an application on behalf of their local school.

ICECF Board members, employees or contracted workers for the foundation, as well as anyone living in their households or directly related will not be eligible to submit an application.
