We are partnering with the Crystal Lake Police department's Touch the Truck Event and our Stuff the Bus Event, to help collect new school supplies for students grades K-12 in need throughout McHenry County, whose household income does not exceed 200% over the poverty level. We will be collecting new supplies at the Crystal Lake Walmart Friday 7/17 11-3 and Johnsburg Walmart Thursday 7/16 10:30-2:30. Supplies can be dropped off at the Salvation Army Corps. 290 W. Crystal Lake Ave., Crystal Lake M-F 8:30-3:30 by Wednesday 7/22.
We all remember the excitement of the first day of school with all our new everything prepared to have a great school year. Help ensure that these students start the school year with the same excitement, confidence, and necessary school supplies to have a successful school year.
Last year we gave out over 500 backpacks; the previous year was over 800 with the generous help of the community. A backpack with the supplies cost over $30 at our discounted rates, so every dollar and item helps
We can only help these many students because of your support. Thank You for all you do to help promote our events!
