Shawnee Hosts Annual School Supply Drive

Shawnee Community College Future Teachers Organization is hosting their annual "School Supply Drive" for this year. As a part of a community service project, the club members are collecting donations of supplies from faculty, administration, staff, and S.C.C. students. Supplies are delivered to area schools where they will be distributed as needed.

Faculty Club Advisor, Sharon Walker shares, "This is the 7th year for this supply drive. In this economy, many children return to school without the supplies they need, to no fault of their parents. Families are struggling right now and it is a privilege for Shawnee Community College to serve those in need."

Last year, the group delivered supplies to 21 area schools and are hoping to exceed their goal this year. They are thankful to all who have donated thus far, and for upcoming donations. Basic school supplies are still needed. For more information about the School Supply Drive, please contact Sharon Walker at 618-634-3235 or at sharonw@shawneecc.edu.
