GUILFORD COUNTY, N.C. — WFMY News 2 is proud to have been serving Triad schools with our Tools for School campaign for 23 years now.
Over the years, we've helped more than 675,000 students.
On Wednesday, WFMY is teaming up with the Guilford Education Alliance, Walker's Express and the Battleground Avenue Walmart Supercenter for a one day collection school supplies drive.
Volunteers from the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority will also be there to help with the drive.
Walker's Express is providing a truck to load up the supplies and take them to the Teacher Supply Warehouse in Guilford County.
That warehouse is full of supplies for students and teachers to use throughout the school year completely free of cost.
If you want to help, we've listed the items needed and where you can drop off supplies.
Let's help our local schools!
