Stoddard County, Missouri - It’s time once again to begin purchasing school supplies. It seems like yesterday students were getting out for their summer break, but August will be here before you know it and children will be in need of school supplies.
Hope International will have a Stuff-A-Truck School Supply drive Friday, June 3rd and Saturday, June 4th from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. at the Dexter Wal-Mart and Dollar General store.
Last year with the support of local churches and the community HOPE international was able to provide more than 700 students with everything they needed to go back to school.
They held a Back-2-School Bash for students from Richland, Dexter, Bernie, Bloomfield, Puxico, and Advance. Children were also able to get FREE haircuts, FREE vision screenings, clothing and shoe vouchers, and several other booths were set up for parents to get information or free items.
This is NOT a low-income only opportunity in the fall. They want every child to benefit from these events.
Now is the time to help Stuff-A-Truck with school supplies. Notebooks, pencils, erasers, glue, scissors, backpacks, Kleenex, sanitizer, zip lock bags, loose leaf paper, and general school supplies.
