Last year, we hosted our first Summer Supply Drive and because it was such a huge success, we decided to host the event annually! After all, school supplies are on sale every year at this time, so a little bit of money can go a long way in providing the elders with the supplies needed to help them in their studies. Just check out this post from last year about how a friend of the Elder Program stretched her dollars to purchase some much-needed supplies for the elders.
Our Summer Supply Drive will run through the end of August; here is a list of items which would be greatly appreciated by the elders and the teachers:
Gift Cards to Kroger, Wal*Mart, Target, and the Parent Teacher Store
These gift cards will help us purchase supplies, including snacks for the elders, classroom posters and teaching materials, and other supplies throughout the year.
Notebooks (spiral bound preferred)
Pencils
Looseleaf Notebook Paper
