Back-to-School 2010!
School Supply Drives (08/5/10)
The information below comes from a survey I started in late July. I wanted to identify the
organizations and businesses doing back-to-school supply drives. I offered free promotion of
the drives and committed to making every effort to get others to blog this information.
Drum roll. . . . The 11 organizations responding to the survey are listed below with the
