Collecting more than 6,500 items, this drive was the most successful EVER in Laurens County! Monetary donations were also collected and exceeded $1,000!!! Included in that total was a $500 gift from the employees of our local B.F. Shaw plant. All the money collected was used to purchase more supplies.
Volunteers of all ages came out to Wal-Mart for the event to lend their support. They handed out flyers to shoppers, posed for pictures, sorted supplies, and stuffed the two school buses that were there!
All donated materials were split between School Districts 55 and 56 in Laurens County, and then distributed to all the schools for children in need.
