 School
Supply Collection |
|
Provide basic school supplies for needy children locally. As
you are probably aware, school supplies requested by school
districts are costly and not everyone can afford them. You can
make a difference by helping a family who would have to make the
decision of buying school supplies or putting food on the table.
The Red Cross works with local non-profit agencies to make sure
the items will be received by those most in need. When you
speak with the Red Cross, make sure you know which age group you
are getting supplies for. More… |
