Most needed supplies include pencils, notebooks, markers (8-pack), crayons (24-pack), dry-erase markers and scissors. Other high-need items include copy paper (8.5x11″, white), headphones, colored pencils and desk chairs.

In addition to the August 26th event, 11 Cares partner Clearview Federal Credit Union will be collecting school supplies at its locations throughout the month.
