In partnership with St. Johns County Education Foundation Inc., operating as Investing in Kids (INK!), The St. Augustine Amphitheatre has become an official drop-off site for the annual Tools 4 Schools countywide school supply drive for the month of August. Throughout the month, we encourage concertgoers to bring a variety of essential school supplies to the Amphitheatre’s designated Tools 4 Schools bin, located outside the Box Office on show days.

In addition to being an official drop off site during August concert events, The St. Augustine Amphitheatre will host a Stuff the Bus collection drive during The St. Augustine Amphitheatre Farmers Market on Saturday, August 17, 2024, from 8:30am to 12:30pm. The community is invited to “stuff” new school supply donations onto a school bus that will be parked at the Amphitheatre. Volunteers will also be onsite to help collect and unload donated supplies. Donations will support over 52,000 public school students and teachers at schools across St. Johns County.
