Clark County Family Services is spearheading a back-to-school supply drive to support children in foster care as the new school year approaches. The drive is active until July 25, and donations of school supplies like notebooks, pencils, pens, folders, backpacks, and new shoes are needed.
Donations can be dropped off at Peggy’s Attic, located at 701 North Pecos Road in Las Vegas. Monetary donations are also accepted, with options to contribute online. Last year’s efforts resulted in nearly 2,000 backpacks and approximately $200,000 in in-kind donations, including school supplies and haircut vouchers, benefiting foster children across the county.
Requested donations include:
- New backpacks (all sizes)
- New shoes (all sizes)
- New school supplies (notebooks, pencils, pens, folders, etc.)
- Monetary contributions
