In preparation for the upcoming school year, Communities In Schools (CIS) of Georgia once again is partnering with Walmart to provide school supplies to underprivileged children through Back to School Drives. The supplies collected will help at-risk students start the new school year off on the right track by providing materials needed to attain success in the classroom.
From July 14 through August 15, designated bins will be located in the front of the store within select Walmart locations throughout Georgia to collect donated school supplies. All school supplies are needed, but recommended items include: backpacks, pencils, pens, erasures, crayons, markers, loose leaf paper, glue, binders, calculators, rulers and scissors.
