VIERA, FL – Brevard Schools Foundation’s Supply Zone for Teachers is reaching out to the businesses and organizations in our community, inviting them to join hands in the “Light the Lantern Hygiene Drive” for K-12 students in Brevard Public Schools. This heartfelt initiative, in its fourth year, aims to provide essential hygiene supplies to brighten the lives of young learners, ensuring personal hygiene does not present as an obstacle to school attendance and student success.
The “Light the Lantern Hygiene Drive” calls upon local businesses and organizations to become collection points for hygiene product donations. The culmination of this effort will be on December 7, 2023, from 5 to 7 p.m. with a drive-through location for the drop-off hygiene supplies collected. The drive through drop-off location is the Brevard Public Schools Educational Services Facility, 2700 Judge Fran Jamieson Way, Viera FL 32940.
By participating, businesses and organizations can directly impact the lives of Brevard Public School students facing homelessness and housing insecurity, fostering a sense of community, generosity, and shared responsibility.
“We believe that the strength of the community lies in its ability to come together and support one another, especially during challenging times. By becoming collection points for the “Light the Lantern Hygiene Drive,” businesses and organizations can play pivotal roles in empowering our students and enhancing their educational experience,” said Dr. Cindy Schmitt, Hygiene Drive Co-Lead at Brevard Schools Foundation.
