Bartell Drugs' "School Tools for Kids in Need" - a helping hand for teachers assisting local students with school supplies, now through Aug. 31
Bartell Drugs welcomes donations of school supplies for its 10th annual "School Tools for Kids in Need" now through August 31 at 59 Bartell Drugs locations. The drive supports students in King, Pierce and Snohomish counties through World Vision's Teacher Resource Center in Fife.
Donated school supplies will help re-stock the Teacher Resource Center, where teachers--whose students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch programs- "shop" free of charge for school supplies to help meet students' needs.
According to Federal Way-based World Vision, a globally-known charitable organization, as many as 58,000 local students could begin the school year without the basic school supplies.
"With so many area children lacking basic school supplies, there's never been a more important time to support this drive. Over the past eight years we've appreciated the support by our customers and the public for their donations," said Bartell Drugs Chairman and CEO George D. Bartell.
Mead, Avery, Kimberly Clark and Bic have teamed up with Bartells to support this year's "School Tools for Kids in Need" drive.
A "Basic Needs" list of suggested donation items found in Bartell's "School Aisles" include:
- #2 Pencils - 10 Count
- Bic Cristal or Stic Round Ink Pens - 10 pack. Blue or
