BREVARD COUNTY, FL – Brevard Schools Foundation is partnering with Lite Rock 99.3 to collect school supplies for local children in need. Supplies will be distributed at the 16th Annual Back to School Giveaway Event for low-income students in Brevard Public Schools.
The public is invited to participate by donating supplies at designated drop-off locations throughout Brevard County during the month of July. Cash donations are also requested so items not received during the drive may be purchased. Sponsorships are also available. All financial donations are doubled through a matching funds grant provided by the Consortium of Florida Education Foundations.
“More than 39,000 children in our schools come from families that are struggling to put food on the table,” said Elizabeth Schreiber, Supply Zone Program Manager. “With the help of our community, we can make sure that these students start the school year off right with the supplies they need to learn and succeed.”
The Foundation will hold the Back to School Giveaway Event on Saturday, July 28 at Clearlake Education Center, Cocoa. Two thousand pre-registered students will be given free backpacks, school supplies, books, hot lunches, dental screenings, eye screenings, gift certificates for haircuts, and other benefits. For more information, please contact Elizabeth Schreiber at 321-633-3660, ext. 301 or Schreiber.Elizabeth@brevardschools.org.
