The 2023 Aiden's Light School Supply Drive was a success!

We raised over 5 times the goal for this year! Because of our donors, dozens of middle school students in New Jersey will be ready with new backpacks and school supplies for the school year. 

Our Mission

Aiden's Light is a 501(c)3 nonprofit on a mission to counter the negative effects of child poverty. 

What We Do

We run backpack and school supply drives for middle school students in New Jersey.
We award college scholarships to deserving high school seniors nationwide.  

The Issue

Living in poverty has a tremendous impact on a young person's life. A child's physical, mental, social well-being are all negatively affected by the dynamics of systemic poverty. Some minority children and teenagers face challenges that oftentimes can only be overcome with the support of organizations like Aiden's Light. 

Did You Know?

There is a disproportionate number of Black and Hispanic children living below the poverty line in New Jersey compared to other demographics.
