Last Day To Donate School Supplies To Help At-Risk Students

OCEANSIDE, CA - A month-long school supply drive organized by WRC ends Friday July 27. The WRC school supply drive provides low-income students basic supplies to aid in their educational development and contribute to a more prosperous future that benefits the entire community.

Teachers frequently spend their own money to buy supplies for their classrooms, while many families struggle to provide needed school supplies for their children. Help ensure students are prepared to learn and that no child goes back to school without the necessary tools.

"When children don't have the school supplies they need it can affect their ability to learn and their overall self-esteem" said Brandee Clayton, WRC Special Event Coordinator. "School supplies can improve a student's outlook towards education and ultimately their opportunities to succeed."

Volunteers will be on-hand Friday to organize the supplies and prepare the back-packs to distribute to the kids.

The school supplies needed most are:

• Glue Sticks
• 10 count Multicolor Markers
• Pink Erasers or Pencil Top Erasers
• Scissors
• 16 Count Colored Pencils
• 2 Pocket Folders
• Pencil Box or Pencil Pouch
• 1 1/2 In. 3 Ring Binder
• Notebook Paper
• Dividers
• 30 Backpacks K-6th
• 40 Backpacks 7th-HS

* Too busy to shop. Gift Cards will be accepted in lieu of supplies.

Please drop off items by July 27th at: 1963 Apple St Oceanside CA 92054
