All 58 locations of Bartell Drugs, including the Magnolia store store at 2222 32nd Ave West, are collecting school supplies for the ?School Tools for Kids in Need? from Aug. 8-28.
Donated school supplies will help re-stock the Kids in Need Resource Center, where teachers ? whose students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch programs? ?shop? free of charge for school supplies to help meet students? needs. Over the past year 120 schools throughout the Puget Sound region were served by the center, with an average pick up of $700 in donated items for each of the nearly 2,500 teacher visits.
