Local businesses are looking for your help to “Pack the Bus” to help local schools and students.
The ninth annual Pack the Bus School Supply Drive will collect school supplies throughout the month of July. Supplies will be distributed to children in need throughout Terrebonne and Lafourche Parishes. The drive is coordinated by Synergy Bank and United Way for South Louisiana.
“Synergy Bank is proud to partner with United Way once again to host the Pack the Bus School Supply Drive,” Jerry Ledet, Synergy Bank President and CEO, said. “The supplies collected can provide students with the tools they need to have a successful school year.”
While all new school supply donations are appreciated, the most requested items include 24-pack of crayons, single subject spiral notebooks (college and wide ruled), pencils, 3-prong pocket folders, glue sticks, Pink Pearl erasers, pencil colors, Kleenex, paper towels, loose leaf paper (wide and college ruled), 1-inch binders, backpacks, and Expo markers. The drive also collects new and gently used belts and school uniforms.
“Thanks to the generosity of local businesses, organizations, and individuals, the Pack the Bus School Supply Drive has donated hundreds of thousands of individual school supply items over the years,” said Untied Way for South Louisiana Executive Director Alina Merlos. “The impact of this school supply drive to help local families – especially after many recent tough years – cannot be overstated. We hope to continue this important service in our community for years to come.”
