Mark Santolin rolls his cart out at several stops in Orange and Seminole counties.

Mark co-founded "Bags of Hope." Its Kids Club program, now in its fourth year, is aimed at collecting school supplies for children in need.

“We have great communication with the sponsors," Santolin said. "When we have a need that the box is full then we make a call and we send someone out, either myself or one of our volunteers to come and pick up the donations immediately in a very timely fashion and then get them back to our process center and get them out to the children at the schools.”

Sponsoring companies hold donation drives that help fill the boxes with supplies for kids and distributed to three elementary schools.

"They've chimed in with, not only the back to school needs and supplies that we've picked up today," Santolin said. "Also on a weekly basis, they have mentors that support us with and volunteers that come to our programs and help assist in mentoring the children."

There are a few things on the wish list for school supplies that you would expect, things like erasers and crayons. There's also a few things that are essential that you might not think about, like clean socks and underwear.

Mark and his wife, Rhonda, started Bags of Hope as a way to reach out to homeless and displaced families who had kids in school.

The Kids Club grew out of the trust the Santolins developed with these families and the hope that they can turn these young lives around. The food, supplies and volunteer mentoring is seeing results.

“Their reading scores have gone up, their participation, their mindset,” Santolin said. “They've raised their horizons, they've raised their goals through the program and that's the most rewarding thing, when you see the change.”

Mark and Rhonda Santolin are Everyday Heroes, but they won't hear it.

The true heroes are those children that come to school everyday facing what they're facing in their personal lives and still focus and make A's and B's.
