We learned that they are looking for donations to meet the school supplies needs for the children living in the shelter. We spoke to Julia, development coordinator of St.Annes's place,. Julia appreciated our interest and welcomed any support that we could provide to this school year needs. They are looking for school supplies for 16 children. The school supplies list includes crayons, markers, colored pencils, notebooks, folders, daily planners, calculators, socks and shoes. We can provide whatever is possible and there is no minimum numbers here.
