After what started with a simple act of kindness, a Tulsa nonprofit is embarking on its 27th year of giving families school supplies.

In 1990, a woman brought a $300 check to Restore Hope Ministries to help provide school supplies to Tulsa children. This year, the nonprofit has raised $30,000 for its back-to-school program.

Restore Hope gave school supplies to 2,809 kids from pre-K to 12th grade last year.

“If you come the last day, you will receive the same great box the first-day person received,” Executive Director Jeff Jaynes said. “It always works out.”
