Chestnut Hill Square is hosting a School Supply Donation Drive for School on Wheels of Massachusetts now through August 25. Donations can be dropped off in the marked donation bin located at Free People.
Donations of need include: new, unused backpacks, pencils & pencil sharpeners, blue or black inked pens, pencil pouches, glue sticks, plastic rulers, washable markers, composition notebooks and more.
All of the proceeds will benefit School on Wheels of Massachusetts, whose mission is to support the academic, social, and emotional growth of students impacted by homelessness. Online donations to purchase school supplies can be made at sowma.org/donate.
“The backpack and school supplies we provide support both the child and their family during the most difficult times. Our backpack serves as a lifeline, helping children succeed in the classroom while offering social and emotional support during uncertain times. By providing a quality backpack loaded with essentials, we assure the student that they are important and seen. This can make all the difference as they begin the new school year,” explains Barbara Fox, Community Outreach Director for School on Wheels.
“Chestnut Hill Square is happy to continue our partnership with School on Wheels of Massachusetts and support the School Supply Drive in helping children in our community return to school with the supplies they need,” says Rebekah Macchia, Marketing Director of Chestnut Hill Square.
