Tools for School returns for 2024 school year

When you shop at participating Walmart stores, you have the chance to help kids in your community get the supplies they need for school.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Summer is coming to an end, and it's almost time for Triad students to head back to school. That also means it's time for WFMY News 2's annual "Tools for School" campaign! You can help make sure kids in your community have the supplies they need to succeed! 

You can lend a helping hand by dropping off school supplies in the "Tools for School" boxes while shopping at participating Walmart stores July 29 - September 9. You can also invite your business, church, or civic organization to hold a "Tools for School" collection drive.

All of the school supplies collected through "Tools for School" stay in the communities in which they are collected, for distribution by local school districts. 

Since 1996, more than 675,000 students have benefited from "Tools for School."

Walmart, Box Board Products, Walker's Express, Inc., iHeart Radio stations, and Blue Cross Blue Shield are proud partners of the 2024 WFMY News 2 "Tools for School" campaign.

WFMY News 2 is doing a one-day "Tools For School" collection drive on Wednesday, August 21. Come see us at the Walmart located at 3738 N. Battleground Avenue in Greensboro to donate school supplies that will go to Guilford County Schools students. We'll be there from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. DONATE TO GUILFORD COUNTY TOOLS FOR SCHOOLS ONLINE AND SAVE YOURSELF A TRIP!

The "Tools For School" campaign runs through September 9.
