Ready Set School mailed out a record 1,100 vouchers in July to families in need. However, there are still families requesting help. We are asking for donations of backpacks and school supplies to give away to families that missed the voucher program.
Stuff a backpack by July 31 and drop off at a barrel.
Locations of barrels:
- WNB Financial downtown lobby only (204 Main Street)
- Midtown Foods (126 E 5th Street)
- Exchange building 1st floor near elevator (51 E 4th Street)
