There are multiple school and business drop-off sites across the area.
Celeste Miller, the project's Communications Director, says for example, 98 per cent of Davenport students qualify for either free or reduced price lunches.
"Our greatest needs are spiral notebooks, pocket folders, pencils and pens, and glue sticks. So we also need things like composition notebooks, notebook paper, crayons, markers, colored pencils, watercolors, erasers, scissors, rulers, pencil boxes..."
Miller says monetary donations can help as well.
"... and then, United Way, and the Community Foundation both have ways to give online, or they can make checks out, as well."
