School Supply Donations

We had a really good discussion on Facebook discussing donating school supplies.  Some people want to donate supplies right to the school while others are happier to see it go directly to the child.  Either way, you are helping a child learn with the supplies that they need to be successful in school.  Budget cuts in schools and people still laid off, now is a GREAT time to step forward and help out.

With the school  supply sales starting, please consider picking up another pack of pencils, paper, glue, etc to help out a child and donate it to one of the places listed below.
