Lee County Tax Collector to host Back to School Supply Drive to support local teachers
The Lee County Tax Collector’s Office will host a back-to-school supply drive in support of local educators.
From Aug. 4 through Aug. 15, the community is invited to drop off school supplies at any of the office’s six service center locations. Donation boxes will be located inside each office to collect in-demand items like pencils, pens, crayons, arts and crafts supplies, puzzles, dry erase markers, and glue sticks. To find a nearby location, visit LeeTC.com/Locations.
The drive aligns with Florida’s Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday, “making it a great time to purchase,” organizers said.
“As a community, we have a chance to support the teachers who show up every day for our kids,” saidd Noelle Branning, Lee County Tax Collector and Executive Board Member of the Foundation, in a prepared statement. “We’re honored to host this drive again and support an organization that’s making a tangible difference in local classrooms.”
All donations will benefit the Education Resource Center at The Foundation for Lee County Public Schools, which provides teachers with free supplies to help students succeed in the classroom.
For those unable to drop off items in person, donations can also be made via the Foundation’s Amazon Wishlist, with items shipped directly to the Education Resource Center.
