3,300 Kids To Get School Supplies From Sacred Heart Of San Jose

CAMPBELL, CA — Sacred Heart Community Service will distribute school supplies to 3,300 students on Friday and is still collecting supplies beforehand, according to the San Jose-based charity.

Kids will be able to pick out new school supplies between 8 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. at the organization's headquarters at 1381 S. First St.

The charity is still accepting donations of backpacks and school supplies.

Next week, Sacred Heart plans to distribute kits of classroom supplies containing items like glue sticks and Post-it notes, according to the charity.
