Company helping students by providing 50,000 backpacks with school supplies
Cradles to Crayons is helping students by providing 50,000 backpacks with school supplies.
Starting now through July 15, United Way of Lake County is holding its annual School Supply Drive to connect with students from low-income families.
The School Supply Drive will include a drive-thru event on Monday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at The People’s Choice Family Fun Center, 2650 Belvidere Rd., Waukegan, in addition to online donations.
In particular, students need:
- spiral notebooks
- rulers
- pink erasers
- folders with pockets
- boxes of 24 crayons
- boxes of 12 colored pencils
- boxes of 10 markers
- packs of loose-leaf notebook paper
- large glue sticks
- scissors
- pencil pouches/cases
- yellow highlighters
- packs of 10 pencils
- facial tissues
Or, you can donate $20 online, which is equivalent to a backpack full of supplies.
