Bartell Drugs has partnered with Star 101.5 and World Vision to collect school supplies for kids who may not be able to afford the otherwise.

Federal Way-based World Vision, a globally-known charitable organization, is constantly collecting and housing school supplies for local children in need.

This three-week school supply drive is especially important as 58,000 local children would begin the school year without the basic school supplies needed to succeed if it weren’t for this much needed program. Teachers, whose students qualify for the free
or reduced-price lunch program, are able to “shop” for school supplies for these children, all free of charge.

They will be accepting donation of basic school supplies starting today, August 10, through August 30 at all 56 Bartell Drugs locations. Stop by the Mountlake Terrace Bartell Drugs some time in the next 3 weeks and help those in need.
