Feigenholtz Launches Back to School Drive After CPS Budget Cuts

In light of school budget cuts, State Rep. Sara Feigenholtz (D-Chicago) has launched a “School Supply Drive” to collect fundamental classroom items for students at local schools.

“Cuts to the classroom have forced parents and teachers to reach deeper into their pockets to pay for basic supplies,” said Feigenholtz. “I’m calling on the community to help ease the burden on struggling parents and give students the materials they need to excel in the upcoming school year.”

Local elementary schools are asking residents to help with donated items such as: pens, pencils, sharpies, spiral and composition notebooks, glue sticks, 3-ring binders, lined paper, and dry erase markers.

Residents wishing to donate school supplies can drop them off at Feigenholtz’s constituent services office at 3223 N. Sheffield Ave., Suite A during normal business hours, or call 773-296-4141 to schedule a special pick-up or drop-off.

This year’s School Supply Drive is scheduled to end on September 10th. 

For more information about this event or other ways you can help out the local school community, please contact Rep. Feigenholtz’s constituent services office at 773-296-4141 or visit www.staterepsara.com.
