Bartell Drugs welcomes donations of school supplies for its 11th annual “School Tools for Kids in Need” now through Aug. 30 at Bartell’s 63 locations. Locally, the drive will take place at the Bella Bottega store, 8862 161st Ave. N.E., and Redmond Town Center store, 7370 170th Ave. N.E.

The drive supports students in King, Pierce and Snohomish counties through World Vision’s Teacher Resource Center in Fife.

With the new school year approaching, donated school supplies help re-stock the Teacher Resource Center where teachers “shop” free of charge for school supplies to assist qualifying students.

According to Federal Way-based World Vision, a globally-known charitable organization, as many as 58,000 local students could begin the school year without the basic school supplies.

A “basic needs” list of suggested donation items can be found in Bartell’s “School Aisles.”
