The Salvation Army Tools for School program is once again accepting donations. Tools for School is designed to provide basic school supplies for children whose parents cannot afford the items necessary for their children to succeed in school. The Salvation Army Tools for School program helps to compensate for some of these basic expenses by supplying children with book bags, notebooks, pens, pencils, etc for students in grades K – 12. This program operates on the charity of the community who donate needed supplies during the summer months along with partnerships with Saint Anne Home, WANE-TV, and STAR 88.3.
