Fifty-six Bartell Drug stores, including the one in the University Village, are collecting school supplies through Aug. 30 for their sixth annual “School Tools for Kids in Need.”
This is Bartell’s 6th annual “School Tools for Kids in Need” drive in conjunction with World Vision. They will be collecting supplies through August 30.
"This three-week school supply drive is especially important as 58,000 local children are at risk of beginning the school year without basic school supplies. Teachers whose students qualify for the free or reduced-price lunch program are able to “shop” for school supplies for them free of charge.
