Special to The Leader

Multiple initiatives to collect and donate school supplies take place at the beginning of each school year, but what happens when kids need help with supplies in October or November?

The Stark Museum of Art is kicking off a school supply campaign to benefit students in need. Those wishing to donate may bring school supplies to the donation bin that will be located in the Museum lobby. The collection begins on Family Day, September 17, 2016 and will run throughout the Collecting Conversations exhibition that will be on view until January 7, 2017. Drop off donations any time Tuesday through Saturday between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.

All school supplies collected will be distributed evenly throughout the public schools in Orange County. Join us and help our local students in need.
