CBS 10 WILM and Communities in Schools Launch the School Stuff Campaign

CBS 10 WILM is partnering with Communities in Schools to collect school supplies for students who need them.

School Stuff begins August 1, when collection barrels will appear in participating Martin Self-Storage, Chick-fil-A and Golden Corral locations in Pender and New Hanover counties.

Through August 31, CBS 10 WILM and Communities in Schools are asking the public to donate new school supplies including binders, notebooks, pens, pencils, paper and folders to help prepare a child for the school year.

“Many students in our community don’t have the means to buy the school supplies they need. In many cases, teachers end up buying these supplies. With the School Stuff campaign, we hope to relieve teachers of this burden and give students the tools they need to be successful in the classroom,” said Louise Hicks, Executive Director of Communities in Schools of Cape Fear.

Anyone interested in receiving school supplies should contact Communities in Schools of Cape Fear at (910) 762-2611 x203.

CBS 10 WILM and Communities in Schools of Cape Fear thank community partners Martin Self-Storage, Chick-fil-A and Golden Corral for their support of this project.
