Remember what it was like as a kid getting all new stuff for the first day of school? How about the excitement of having bright, unbroken crayons, pencils to sharpen, and fun backpacks? Many students in the Sylvania area come from homes below the poverty level, and they deserve to feel the same excitement about school.

Here are three ways you can help:

Drop off school supplies at the Edward Jones locations listed in the flyer below.
