Sponsor a Student School Supply Drive!

State Senator Heather Steans, State Representative Harry Osterman, and Alderman Mary Ann Smith are partnering once again to collect school supplies for low-income children in the neighborhood.  The third annual “Sponsor-a-student” is a partnership with Care for Real -  Edgewater’s food and clothing pantry, and other local non-profits to provide school supplies for children in Rogers Park, Edgewater, and Uptown.

Students need a wide variety of supplies, which differs at each school.  Donors will sign up to sponsor a student and will receive the student’s grade, age, gender, and the school supply list for that particular student.  The bags, on average cost $75, but less expensive lists are available as well.  The drive ends on August 19.
