The Burlington County Commissioners, the county sheriff’s office and state Sen. Troy Singleton will collect donations of new school supplies, backpacks, and other back-to-school items for needy families now through Tuesday, Aug. 15.
“Helping students begin the year with new backpacks and supplies is something our legislative team has done regularly,” said Singleton. “By joining forces with the county commissioners and sheriff’s office, we hope to ensure even more students have the tools they need to succeed in the upcoming school year.”
The donations of only new items are being accepted at county libraries and buildings, the sheriff’s office and Singleton’s legislative office, 400 North Church St., Suite 260, Moorestown.
Other suggested donations include calculators, binders, paper, folders, composition books, pencil cases, pens, Crayons, markers and highlighters, erasers, small hand sanitizers, lunch boxes, scissors and index cards.
