Several local organizations are combining efforts to provide Lebanon County students with school supplies for the coming academic year.
United Way of Lebanon County, Making a Difference of Lebanon, and the Lebanon Valley Family YMCA are hosting Stuff the Bus, a collaborative school supply drive, through July 17. According to press materials, the primary needs include book bags, calculators, crayons and colored pencils, pencils and pens, notebooks, and folders.
“Having the right supplies does far more than simply fill backpacks,” the release says. “It builds confidence, encourages classroom participation, and gives children a positive start to the academic year.”
Collection boxes can be found at the following locations:
Jonestown Bank & Trust at 2 W. Market St., Jonestown
Greek Town Pizza & Restaurant at 544 Walnut St., Lebanon
Lebanon Valley Family YMCA at 201 N. 7th St., Lebanon
Chick-fil-A at 1147 Quentin Road, Lebanon
“Whether you contribute one item or many items, every donation helps fill backpacks, helps ease the financial burden on local families, and prepares students for a successful academic year,” the release says.
