Delivery of Supplies
Contact the Foundation at foundation@pisd.edu to schedule a time for delivery of your donation to the CORE Store or have the items shipped directly to the PISD Education Foundation at 2700 W. 15th Street, Plano, Texas 75075.
Thank you for your generosity! In Plano ISD, more than 38% of our students are economically disadvantaged. For these students, school supplies are a luxury and any arrive at school without a single pencil or notebook, unable to participate in day-to-day lessons and activities.
Thank you for helping to provide every student with the supplies they need for a successful academic year!
