North Little Rock Junior League distributes school supplies
North Little Rock, AR, August 23, 2010: Members of the Junior League of North Little Rock distributed much needed school supplies last week to area schools. League Locker, a project which supports public schools by giving supplies to local schools, is one of the largest Community Outreach Projects sponsored by the Junior League of North Little Rock. Elementary and Middle schools received basic school supplies, hygiene items, and many hard to find and expensive items. Community Outreach Chair, Teri Todd, said that the Junior League asks area schools to supply lists of needed items for each fall session and then again after the winter break. "We typically shop at area stores that are happy to assist us with our efforts. Target has been a huge supporter for many years. This helps us stretch our dollars and serve more children in the community," shared Todd.
The members are planning on distributing an additional set of supplies in mid-September. "We have several 'Done in a Meeting' projects in which we ask our members to each bring specific items that will given
back to serve a need in the community. Our September meeting will focus on school supplies, and these supplies will be shared with the schools as soon as they are organized."
For more information on receiving supplies, or to donate, please contact the Junior League's office at 501.372.1436.
