Volunteers, Supplies, and Donations Needed to support GISD Educators in the 2025-2026 School Year

United Way of Galveston has committed to tap into our volunteer network to assist Galveston ISD with the Share Your School Supplies drive – would you like to help? We want to make sure that GISD knows that our community is here to help, and whether you want to give time, money, or supplies, it’s needed and you’re appreciated.

Here’s what we need volunteer help with, and when.

  • Friday, August (12:00 PM – 2 PM) at Galveston Island Brewing
  • Sunday, August 11 (12 – 4 PM) at Galveston Island Brewing
    • Staff and stock the “store” at Galveston Island Brewery that will be open to GISD teachers from 1-3 pm

If you can volunteer, sign up here!

Volunteers must be 16+ for this event.

If you would rather donate via debit or credit card…

You can give through Galveston Ed. Foundation and enter “SYSS” or “Share Your School Supplies” in the honoree section of the form.


Want to donate?

Get your Group (civic club, banking branch, buddies, neighbors, or even coworkers) together, gather a ton of supplies, and (possibly) get on TV when you donate them on August 8 between 9 – 10 am at 3904 Ave. T/GISD Admin!
