Bartell Drugs is now accepting donations for school supplies for their 10th annual “School Tools for Kids in Need” drive, going on now through Aug. 31 at all of their stores, including the one in Ballard at 5605 22nd Ave NW. The drive will support students in King, Pierce and Snohomish counties.
Bartells says the donated supplies will go to help re-stock the Teacher Resource Center, where teachers whose students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch programs can get free school supplies for their students.
Here’s a list of items they’re hoping to have donated this year (all found in Bartell’s school supply aisle):

“With so many area children lacking basic school supplies, there’s never been a more important time to support this drive. Over the past eight years we’ve appreciated the support by our customers and the public for their donations,” said Bartell Drugs Chairman and CEO George D. Bartell in a statement about the drive.
