Start the School Year Strong: 2026 School Supplies Drive

A new school year brings new opportunities, new goals, and, of course, a long list of supplies. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, local students will have a few more of the essentials they need to walk into the classroom feeling ready for what’s ahead.

We’re proud to announce the success of our 2026 School Supply Drive, an annual effort made possible through the generosity and support of our wedding, boating, and local communities. Beau Truesdale Wedding Venues and Clarks Landing Yacht Sales came together to collect hundreds of essential school supplies for Captain James Lawrence School, Neptune School District, and South Toms River Elementary. From everyday classroom necessities to backpacks and other helpful items, these donations will help equip local students for a successful start to the school year.

We’re incredibly thankful to everyone who played a part in making this year’s drive a success. Whether you donated supplies or helped spread the word about the drive, your support helped turn a community effort into something that will have a lasting impact. Thank you for helping us make a difference; we’re proud to show that giving back is always in season!
